# Building a Simple Event-Driven Application with Datadog Workflows

**[DevOps.com](https://daily.dev/sources/devops)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A developer shares how they migrated an event-driven sales automation system from AWS (SNS, Lambda, SES, custom Go code) to Datadog Workflows. The new setup uses Datadog's Email Events API, Grok Parser, pipeline processors, and a monitor-triggered Workflow to create HubSpot contacts, deals, and line items — replacing code-heavy infrastructure with a low-code solution that's easier for non-engineers to maintain. Trade-offs include limited suitability for high-traffic or strict-latency scenarios.
