Question: How will issuers identify the completion of file processing if the Amazon Web Services (AWS) is automated?

Answer: At the completion of file processing, issuers will receive outbound reports corresponding to the file submission. Issuers may enable the email notification feature in AWS to notify them when a file has completed processing. Instructions for enabling email notifications is included in the Job Aid titled, "EDGE Server Job Aid: AWS File Processing Email Notification - Step 5."
