Make Forecast trigger a Lambda function when done performing task

Question

Some tasks within Amazon Forecast can take a long time, and I would like it to trigger a Lambda function once it finishes a long task (creating import jobs, training models, making forecasts, etc...) to update my database for example  
How can I do it?   
Can I use something like Amazon SNS or SQS?

You may use a combination of AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions, and Amazon CloudWatch events  to periodically  check and take the next actions accordingly. Please refer to the blog https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/automating-your-amazon-forecast-workflow-with-lambda-step-functions-and-cloudwatch-events-rule/#:~:text=Machine%20Learning%20Blog-,Automating%20your%20Amazon%20Forecast%20workflow%20with%20Lambda,Functions%2C%20and%20CloudWatch%20Events%20rule&text=Amazon%20Forecast%20is%20a%20fully,requiring%20any%20prior%20ML%20experience and https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/building-ai-powered-forecasting-automation-with-amazon-forecast-by-applying-mlops/ for more details.
