Update your IAM Policy

Amazon Pinpoint service requires an IAM policy in order to use the record API:

1{
2 "Version": "2012-10-17",
3 "Statement": [
4 {
5 "Effect": "Allow",
6 "Action": ["mobiletargeting:UpdateEndpoint", "mobiletargeting:PutEvents"],
7 "Resource": ["arn:aws:mobiletargeting:*:${accountID}:apps/${appId}*"]
8 }
