Amazon Quick Automate now supports import and export of automations across AWS accounts

By

Amazon Quick Automate now enables you to migrate automation versions across automation groups, AWS accounts, and AWS Regions. Previously, moving automations between environments required time-consuming manual recreation of workflows. This new capability is designed for DevOps teams and organizations managing multi-environment deployments who need to promote tested automations from development to production, deploy across geographic regions, or share proven workflows with other teams.

The migration process packages your workflow, runtime configuration, and process step metadata into a secure, encrypted link using AWS KMS encryption. Export links remain valid for 12 hours and can be reused multiple times, eliminating repeated exports. This streamlined approach saves significant time compared to manual recreation and enables point-in-time snapshots for disaster recovery scenarios. Key use cases include promoting automations between development, staging, and production environments, deploying across AWS Regions, and sharing proven automation with teams outside your automation group.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Quick Automate is enabled, including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Dublin), Europe (London), Europe (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Asia Pacific (Sydney). Note that dependencies such as action connectors, credentials, and humn-in-the-loop task queue configurations are not included in the migration bundle and must be configured separately in the destination environment.

Amazon Quick Automate now provides APIs to trigger and monitor automation jobs

By

Amazon Quick Automate now provides APIs that enable you to programmatically start automation jobs and check their status from external applications and services. The new StartAutomationJob and DescribeAutomationJob APIs allow automation developers and DevOps engineers to invoke deployed automations with custom input data and retrieve structured results when jobs complete, extending Quick Automate’s capabilities beyond scheduled execution.

These APIs enable seamless integration of Quick Automate workflows into your existing applications and event-driven architectures. You can trigger automations in response to application events such as new user registrations or order completions, pass dynamic input parameters with typed schemas, and use the output data for further processing. Use cases include incorporating automations into data pipelines, coordinating workflows across multiple AWS services or third-party applications, and executing batch operations with different input parameters from a single application.

This feature is available through AWS SDK and AWS CLI in all AWS Regions where Quick Automate is enabled, including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Dublin), Europe (London), Europe (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Asia Pacific (Sydney).

Amazon Quick Automate announces shared file storage for automations

By

Amazon Quick Automate now supports in-app file storage, enabling you to seamlessly manage files within your automations without requiring external storage solutions or connectors. This feature provides a centralized location for uploading, downloading, and sharing files across multiple automations within the same automation group, eliminating the friction previously experienced when working with files in automation workflows.
Previously, providing files as inputs to automations or receiving file outputs required uploading to external services like Amazon S3, OneDrive, or SharePoint, and configuring connectors. With shared file storage, automation builders and business users can now upload files directly through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and access them immediately across all automations in their automation group. Key use cases include static lookup files that business users can update as needed, such as contact lists or pricing tables; configuration files where business users can manage agent guidelines outside the automation itself; multi-automation workflows where one automation’s output feeds into another; and daily or weekly reporting where automations share outputs with users for review.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Quick Automate is enabled, including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Dublin), Europe (London), Europe (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Asia Pacific (Sydney). To learn more about shared file storage, visit the Amazon Quick Automate product page or read the shared file actions documentation. .
