Event Relays in Setup

An event relay is a set of event configurations and a connection to a partner event source in Amazon EvenBridge. An event relay streams events from the Salesforce event bus to EventBridge. You can create an event relay in Setup.

This image shows a list of event relays set up for various event channels, in Setup, in the Event Relays page.

Event Relay Components

An event relay includes your AWS account information and a Salesforce event channel that you set up. The event relay status indicates whether the relay is running or is in another state (1). The event channel is the stream of events in the Salesforce event bus to be relayed to EventBridge (2). An event channel contains members for the events to stream. The number of members a channel contains is shown in the event relays list (3). A named credential contains your AWS account and AWS region information where to relay the events (4). After you create an event relay, Salesforce creates a corresponding partner event source in EventBridge.
