# AWS Step Functions

> Trigger AWS Step Functions state machine executions from Paradime Bolt schedules and the CLI to orchestrate serverless workflows next to your dbt runs.

[AWS Step Functions](https://aws.amazon.com/step-functions/) is a serverless orchestration service for coordinating workflows across AWS services using state machines. Trigger AWS Step Functions executions as part of your Paradime Bolt schedules using the Paradime CLI.

## What you can do

* Trigger one or more state machine executions from a Bolt schedule
* Pass JSON input data to the state machines
* List available state machines with their status

## Prerequisites

* AWS credentials: `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `AWS_REGION`, and optionally `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` for temporary credentials

## Trigger from Bolt

Set your credentials as [environment variables](/products/settings/environment-variables/bolt-schedule-env-variables) on your Bolt schedule, then run the command as part of the schedule.

See the full command reference, flags, and examples in the [AWS Step Functions CLI](/developers/paradime-cli/aws-step-functions-cli) documentation.
