+## Start an AWS Step Function
+
+Use the `StepFunctionsStartExecution` target to start a new execution on a StepFunction.
+
+The code snippet below creates an event rule with a Step Function as a target
+called every hour by Event Bridge Scheduler with a custom payload.
+
+```ts
+import * as sfn from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-stepfunctions';
+import * as tasks from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-stepfunctions-tasks';
+
+const payload = {
+  Name: "MyParameter",
+  Value: '🌥️',
+};
+
+const putParameterStep = new tasks.CallAwsService(this, 'PutParameter', {
+  service: 'ssm',
+  action: 'putParameter',
+  iamResources: ['*'],
+  parameters: {
+    "Name.$": '$.Name',
+    "Value.$": '$.Value',
+    Type: 'String',
+    Overwrite: true,
+  },
+});
+
+const stateMachine = new sfn.StateMachine(this, 'StateMachine', {
+  definitionBody: sfn.DefinitionBody.fromChainable(putParameterStep)
+});
+
+new Schedule(this, 'Schedule', {
+  schedule: ScheduleExpression.rate(Duration.hours(1)),
+  target: new targets.StepFunctionsStartExecution(stateMachine, {
+    input: ScheduleTargetInput.fromObject(payload),
