How does the integration between AWS SQS and Hilos work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for AWS SQS and Hilos 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 SQS and Hilos.
Connect your AWS SQS and Hilos 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 AWS SQS's "Watch Queue Messages" fires, WEXTL can "Create Channel Automation" in Hilos. AWS SQS has 1 trigger (including Watch Queue Messages); Hilos has 20 actions (including Create Channel Automation, Create Doc, and Create Task). 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 SQS-to-Hilos 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 SQS (or Hilos) 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 SQS + Hilos 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]
