1. Navigate to SQS in the AWS console

![](/files/l9GMGqEmRy6eXlW6cTLp)

2. Create a queue

![](/files/WCZZM17C87BWQ5f9cp4Y)

3. Give the queue a name

![](/files/4NwFxOCBfYTWopvpDahG)

4. Under **Configuration**, Set **Message retention** to **1 day**

![](/files/2DiqS18MGGPSrlgE7Qfn)

5. Under **Access policy**, click **Advanced**.

![](/files/1n0OGLRPNwuCln6cYAZ3)

6. Delete the default JSON in the Advanced Access policy.
7. Copy and paste in the following JSON, changing `<bucketname>` to be the name of the S3 bucket you created in an earlier step.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="JSON" %}

```json
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Id": "PushMessageToSQSPolicy",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "allow-sns-to-send-message-to-sqs",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "*"
      },
      "Action": "sqs:SendMessage",
      "Resource": "*",
      "Condition": {
        "StringLike": {
          "aws:SourceArn": "arn:aws:s3:::<bucketname>"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

The result should look like this:

![](/files/Q5a6Uw1C1rWlDJa4f5YF)

{% hint style="info" %}
**📘Leave all other settings set as default, or follow the policies set by your organization.**
{% endhint %}

8. Click **Create queue**

![](/files/LteZSjXl7tHpjVehDKGc)

9. Save the SQS queue ARN in a text file. This will come in handy later.

![](/files/pxQNnoOCBNd0pCE0rIVp)
