# Run AWS Step Functions

> Add a Run AWS Step Functions command to a Paradime Bolt schedule to start state machines from the Paradime CLI as part of your dbt™ pipeline.

Start one or more AWS Step Functions state machines from a Bolt schedule to run downstream workflows as part of your pipeline.

## Prerequisites

* AWS connected as a [workspace integration](/integrations/aws-step-functions). AWS credentials are taken from that integration.

## Usage

Add the **Run AWS Step Functions** command to your schedule and enter the command to run. The modal accepts any command supported by the [Paradime AWS Step Functions CLI](/developers/paradime-cli/aws-step-functions-cli):

```bash theme={"system"}
paradime run aws-stepfunctions-trigger --state-machine-arns=arn:aws:states:...
```

Pass input to the state machine with `--input-data='{"key":"value"}'`.
