Defines an action to write to the Amazon DynamoDB table that you created. The standard action payload contains all the information about the detector model instance and the event that triggered the action. You can customize the payload. One column of the DynamoDB table receives all attribute-value pairs in the payload that you specify.

You must use expressions for all parameters in DynamoDBAction. The expressions accept literals, operators, functions, references, and substitution templates.

Examples

For more information, see Expressions in the AWS IoT Events Developer Guide.

If the defined payload type is a string, DynamoDBAction writes non-JSON data to the DynamoDB table as binary data. The DynamoDB console displays the data as Base64-encoded text. The value for the payloadField parameter is <payload-field>_raw.

Information needed to configure the payload.

By default, AWS IoT Events generates a standard payload in JSON for any action. This action payload contains all attribute-value pairs that have the information about the detector model instance and the event triggered the action. To configure the action payload, you can use contentExpression.
