Get Started
Send With SES integrates with your own AWS account to send Transactional Emails and SMS's. We highly recommend you create a separate AWS account for use exclusively with Send With SES.
Proceed with the below steps once you have created your AWS account. The whole process can take upto 20 minutes. AWS might take upto 24 hours (usually much lesser) to move your account out of the SES sandbox.
- 1.Create AWS Role and add that role Role in Send With SES settings.
- 2.Add DNS Records for your Domain.
- 3.Move out of SES Sandbox (to send emails).
- 4.
For 1, 2, 3, click the videos below for step-by-step guides.
When creating AWS Role, the 'Account ID' to be mentioned is 033267325636
When moving out of SES Sandbox, the region selected in AWS Dashboard must match the region selected in Send With SES Settings Dashboard.
IAM Full Access is something similar to full Admin Access. It gives Send With SES the power to provision any resource within your AWS Account. However Send With SES only provisions resources which are required to send Emails, SMS, and Push Notifications, and to collect various delivery statistics. Currently these resources are - SES, SQS, SNS, S3, Pinpoint, CloudWatch. Send With SES will inform you in advance if any new resource is to be provisioned.
The alternative to IAM Full Access Role is to create a 'User' with specific permissions for each of the required AWS Resource and give Send With SES the 'secret keys' for that user (a risky proposition). You will also need create a 'SNS Role' for collecting CloudWatch metrics and give Send With SES that Role ARN. In future if any new permission is required you will need to edit that User/Role. All this can be confusing and cumbersome to most users. The IAM Full Access Role allows Send With SES to securely and programmatically handle all these tasks for you.
Send With SES accesses your AWS Account by requesting a set of temporary keys using the 'IAM Role' provided by you. No third parties can access your account.
You can delete the IAM Role at any time to prevent Send With SES from accessing your AWS Account.
