Create Cloudwatch Alarm for Route53 Healthcheck Status via Cloudformation

I want to create a cloudwatch alarm for my Route53 Healthcheck status of certain endpoint using cloudformation template.

This is my cloudformation template for Route53 HealthCheck status:

EndpointHealthCheck:
  Properties:
   HealthCheckConfig:
    AlarmIdentifier:
      Name: !Ref EndpointCriticalAlarm
      Region: !Ref AWS::Region
    Type: HTTPS
    ResourcePath: /sample/path
    FullyQualifiedDomainName: sample.com
    RequestInterval: 60
    FailureThreshold: 5

This is my cloudwatch alarm:

EndpointCriticalAlarm:
 Type: "AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm"
 Properties:
  AlarmDescription: sample description
  AlarmName: HealthCheckAlarm
  Namespace: "AWS/Route53"
  MetricName: HealthCheckStatus
  ComparisonOperator: GreaterThanOrEqualToThreshold
  Period: 60
  EvaluationPeriods: 1
  Statistic: Average
  Threshold: !Ref FailureThreshold
  AlarmActions:
    - !Ref AlarmSNSTopicArn

Is the cloudwatch alarm able to gather data from Route53 healthcheck status? Thanks

It is not possible because of the region constraints which apply to CloudFormation and HealthCheck alarms: https://stackoverflow.com/a/66969674/1714171

I used to face the same issue and ActionsEnabled: true in the alarm definition fixed that
