Adding a manual approval action to the pipeline

After you have completed the configuration of the ChangeSet action, you will need to add a new action that comes after the ChangeSet action:

Adding an approval action to the pipeline

In the Add action dialog box, select Approval for the Action category, and then configure an Action name of ApproveChangeSet. After selecting an Approval type of Manual approval, notice that you can add an SNS topic ARN and other information to the manual approval request. This could then be used to send an email to the approver, or to trigger a lambda function that performs some custom action, such as posting a message into a messaging tool like Slack.
