***Version: 1.3  
Updated: August 19, 2025***

Using the integration with SQS, you can gather current queues, add a new queue, delete and purge existing queues during an active investigation.

## Actions

* **List Queues** (*Enrichment*) - List of all queues (Max 1,000 queues).
* **Get Queue URL** (*Enrichment*) - Returns the URL of an existing Amazon SQS queue.
* **Create Queue** (*Containment*) - Creates a new standard or FIFO queue.
* **Delete Queue** (*Containment*) - Deletes the queue specified by the *QueueUrl*, regardless of the queue's contents.
* **Purge Queue** (*Containment*) - Deletes the messages in a queue specified by the *QueueURL* parameter.
* **Send Message** (*Notification*) - Delivers a message to the specified queue.

## External Libraries
