STEP 1

Connect AWS Rekognition and Kafka

Save credentials in WEXTL once. We store them encrypted and reuse the authorization across every workflow [3]. No coding or API skills required.

STEP 2

Build a workflow

Paste selected AWS Rekognition and Kafka nodes onto the canvas [4], or describe what you want and WEXTL wires the flow together with AI Builder.

STEP 3

Map your data

Choose which fields need to sync between AWS Rekognition and Kafka. Use filters or leverage a JS custom code step in between — everything is on the canvas.

How does the integration between AWS Rekognition and Kafka work in WEXTL?

WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for AWS Rekognition and Kafka that help you connect apps and automate repetitive tasks [1]. A trigger is an event that happens, an action — a step that performs when the event has occurred.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about connecting AWS Rekognition and Kafka.

Connect your AWS Rekognition and Kafka accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]

Example: when Kafka's "Watch messages" fires, WEXTL can "Compare Faces" in AWS Rekognition. AWS Rekognition has 11 actions (including Compare Faces, Create Collection, and Detect Faces); Kafka has 1 action (including Send a message). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]

Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]

No. AWS Rekognition-to-Kafka automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]

Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment AWS Rekognition (or Kafka) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]

A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.

You can build your AWS Rekognition + Kafka automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
