AWS trigger lambda function when message is present in SQS queue

Question

I use the AWS Lambda function to process messages in a queue that work fine. But I need to execute this Lambda function when messages are available or added to the SQS queue.

Is it possible to run the Lambda function based on the SQS queue. Please suggest one way to achieve this.
