AWS AppConfig Block

Interact with the AWS AppConfig control plane to list applications, environments for an application, and configuration profiles. Authenticate with AWS access key credentials using SigV4 request signing.

Overview

When to Use

• Discover all AppConfig applications in a given AWS region
• List the deployment environments (e.g. production, staging) defined for an application
• Enumerate configuration profiles attached to an application to know what feature flags or freeform configs are available
• Build audit or inventory workflows that catalogue AWS AppConfig resources
• Dynamically look up an application ID before querying its environments or profiles in a later block
• Chain with other AWS blocks to correlate configuration state with infrastructure resources

Configuration

Operation

Selects which AppConfig API action to execute. This is a required dropdown field that defaults to appconfig_list_applications.

Application ID

Visible when: operation is appconfig_list_environments or appconfig_list_configuration_profiles.

The alphanumeric AppConfig application ID (e.g. abcd123) that scopes the environment or configuration profile listing. Reference a previous block's output with {{blockName.data}} or type the ID directly.

AWS Region

Required. The AWS region where your AppConfig resources are deployed (e.g. us-east-1, eu-west-1). Accepts a static value or a block reference such as {{blockName.data}}.

AWS Access Key ID

Required. Your AWS IAM access key ID. Store this as an environment variable and reference it with {{AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}} rather than pasting the value directly. The field is masked (password mode).

AWS Secret Access Key

Required. The secret access key that pairs with the access key ID above. Store it as an environment variable and reference it with {{AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}}. The field is masked (password mode).

Inputs & Outputs

Inputs:

• operation (string) — Operation to perform (appconfig_list_applications, appconfig_list_environments, or appconfig_list_configuration_profiles)
• awsRegion (string) — AWS region
• awsAccessKeyId (string) — AWS access key ID
• awsSecretAccessKey (string) — AWS secret access key
• applicationId (string) — AppConfig application ID (required when operation is appconfig_list_environments or appconfig_list_configuration_profiles)

Outputs:

• data (json) — AppConfig API response containing the result of the selected operation. For list operations the response shape follows the AWS AppConfig REST API: an Items array of resource objects and an optional NextToken for pagination.

Tools

AppConfig List Applications (appconfig_list_applications) — Calls GET /applications on the AppConfig regional endpoint to return all applications in the account. Requires awsRegion, awsAccessKeyId, and awsSecretAccessKey. Returns Items (list of application objects) and an optional NextToken.

AppConfig List Environments (appconfig_list_environments) — Calls GET /applications/{applicationId}/environments to return all environments defined for a specific application. Requires awsRegion, awsAccessKeyId, awsSecretAccessKey, and applicationId. Returns Items (list of environment objects) and an optional NextToken.

AppConfig List Configuration Profiles (appconfig_list_configuration_profiles) — Calls GET /applications/{applicationId}/configurationprofiles to return all configuration profiles for a specific application. Requires awsRegion, awsAccessKeyId, awsSecretAccessKey, and applicationId. Returns Items (list of profile objects) and an optional NextToken.

All three tools use AWS SigV4 request signing (service: appconfig).
