# Activate the Partner Event Source in Amazon EventBridge

Salesforce creates a partner event source in Amazon EventBridge in pending status after you create an event relay. Associate the event bus with the partner event source in EventBridge so that the event source is ready to receive events from Salesforce.

1. Get the partner event source name from the event relay. In the Event Relays page, click the event relay. Copy the Partner Event Source Name field value.
    
    There can be a small delay before this field value is displayed after you create the event relay. Refresh the page until you get the partner event source name.
