 You can then `Ref: SendMessageStateMachine` in various parts of CloudFormation or serverless.yml
 
+#### Depending on another logical id
+If your state machine depends on another resource defined in your `serverless.yml` then you can add a `dependsOn` field to the state machine `definition`. This would add the `DependsOn`clause to the generated CloudFormation template.
+
+This `dependsOn` field can be either a string, or an array of strings.

+```yaml
+stepFunctions:
+  stateMachines:
+    myStateMachine:
+      dependsOn: myDB
+
+    myOtherStateMachine:
+      dependsOn:
+        - myOtherDB
+        - myStream
+```
+
 #### Current Gotcha
 Please keep this gotcha in mind if you want to reference the `name` from the `resources` section. To generate Logical ID for CloudFormation, the plugin transforms the specified name in serverless.yml based on the following scheme.
