Tool: AWS AppConfig — Zelaxy Docs

Query the AWS AppConfig control plane to discover applications, their deployment environments, and stored configuration profiles. Use this integration when a workflow needs to look up runtime configuration resources — for example, to feed an application ID or environment name into a downstream deployment or audit step.

Overview

Property	Value
Type	`appconfig`
Category	Tool — Cloud Infrastructure
Auth	AWS SigV4 (Access Key ID + Secret Access Key)

Operations

Operation	Tool ID	Description
List Applications	`appconfig_list_applications`	List all applications registered in AWS AppConfig for the given region
List Environments	`appconfig_list_environments`	List deployment environments for a specific AppConfig application
List Configuration Profiles	`appconfig_list_configuration_profiles`	List configuration profiles (hosted, SSM Parameter Store, S3, etc.) for a specific application

Configuration

Setting	Type	Required	Description
`awsRegion`	`string`	Yes	AWS region where AppConfig resources live (e.g. `us-east-1`). Determines the API endpoint.
`awsAccessKeyId`	`string`	Yes	AWS IAM access key ID used to sign requests. Treat as a secret — store in an environment variable such as `{{AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}}`.
`awsSecretAccessKey`	`string`	Yes	AWS IAM secret access key paired with the access key ID. Treat as a secret — store in an environment variable such as `{{AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}}`.
`applicationId`	`string`	Conditional	The AppConfig application ID (e.g. `abcd123`). Required for List Environments and List Configuration Profiles; not used by List Applications. Can be supplied by an upstream block using `{{appconfig.data}}` output or entered directly.

Outputs

All three operations return the same output shape:

Field	Type	Description
`data`	`json`	Raw AWS AppConfig API response object. Contains an `Items` array of resources and an optional `NextToken` for paginated results.

`data` shape by operation

List Applications — data.Items is an array of application objects, each with Id, Name, and Description.
List Environments — data.Items is an array of environment objects, each with ApplicationId, Id, Name, State, and Monitors.
List Configuration Profiles — data.Items is an array of profile objects, each with ApplicationId, Id, Name, LocationUri, Type, and ValidatorTypes.

Example

[Starter] → [AWS AppConfig: List Applications] → [AWS AppConfig: List Environments] → [Agent: summarise deployment status]

A scheduled workflow first calls List Applications with {{AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}} and {{AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}} to discover all AppConfig applications. It then passes the Id of a specific application — referenced as {{listApplications.data}} — into a second List Environments block to retrieve that application's environments. An Agent block finally summarises the environment states for an on-call Slack report.

Tips

Least-privilege IAM — the credentials only need appconfig:ListApplications, appconfig:ListEnvironments, and appconfig:ListConfigurationProfiles. Avoid using root or admin keys.
Application ID flow — use List Applications first to obtain the applicationId dynamically, then wire {{listApplications.data}} into downstream List Environments or List Configuration Profiles blocks so the ID is never hard-coded.
Pagination — AWS returns up to 50 items per call and a NextToken when more pages exist. If you expect more resources than that, use a Loop block to iterate with the token until it is absent.
Region matters — AppConfig resources are region-scoped. Make sure awsRegion matches the region where your applications were created, otherwise the API returns an empty Items array rather than an error.
