Run ECS task from event bridge: Not Scheduled

Question

I have a setup that sends event from api gateway --> event bridge . I want event bridge to run an ECS task definition when an event is sent from api gateway and pass the event as an argument in the container. 
Is it possible to achieve this? Note that the task is not scheduled, I only want it to be executed when an event is sent from api gateway.
Thanks :)

Answer

It is possible. As listed here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-targets.html#targets-specifics-ecs-task, ECS task is a valid target:

Amazon ECS task

If you use InputTransformers to shape the input event to a Target to match the Amazon ECS RunTask TaskOverride structure, the parameters will be mapped 1-to-1 and passed through to ecs.RunTask.
