Sending Email<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To send emails using the Amazon SES provider, you need an AWS account. If you don\u2019t have one, visit the AWS website and click on the \u201cCreate an AWS Account\u201d<\/strong> button in the top-right corner of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Please note that even if you only plan to use the free tier, you will still need to provide your credit card details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your account is created, search for \u201cSimple Email Service\u201d<\/strong> in the \u201cFind Services\u201d<\/strong> bar in the AWS Management Console and select it to access the SES dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Click the \u201cGo to Identity Management\u201d<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You will need to verify the domain from which you want to send emails. Click \u201cVerify a New Domain\u201d<\/strong> to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can skip DKIM configuration for now. However, enabling DKIM is highly recommended for production use, as it helps prevent your emails from being marked as spam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After clicking \u201cVerify This Domain\u201d<\/strong>, you will be presented with a domain verification record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now go to the platform where you manage DNS for the domain (usually your domain registrar). The process varies depending on the provider and is outside the scope of this guide. However, you must create a TXT record for your domain and copy the exact values from the Name<\/strong> and Value<\/strong> fields provided by AWS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this, click Close<\/strong>. Initially, the Verification Status<\/strong> will show as \u201cPending Verification,\u201d<\/strong> and Enabled for Sending<\/strong> will appear as \u201cNo.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As long as you configure the DNS record correctly, the Verification Status<\/strong> will change to \u201cVerified,\u201d<\/strong> and Enabled for Sending<\/strong> will change to \u201cYes.\u201d<\/strong> You\u2019ll also receive an email notification confirming that your domain has been successfully verified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This process may take some time. If verification fails, double-check that you didn\u2019t accidentally include any spaces when copying the DNS record values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a Configuration Set<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next, you need to create a Configuration Set<\/strong>. To do this, select Configuration Sets<\/strong> from the sidebar in the SES panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you do not need email tracking (delivery, open rates, etc.), a single configuration set will suffice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Creating an Access Key Pair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go to the IAM (Identity and Access Management)<\/strong> section of AWS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s best practice to create a new IAM user. Click Users<\/strong>, then Add User<\/strong>. Although you can create access keys using the root user, this is strongly discouraged due to security risks\u2014root access provides full control over your AWS account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Select \u201cProgrammatic Access Only\u201d<\/strong> since this user doesn\u2019t need access to the AWS Management Console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you plan to enable email tracking, be sure to attach the AmazonSNSFullAccess<\/strong> policy to this user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After creating the user, copy and paste the Access Key ID<\/strong> and Secret Access Key<\/strong> into the provider configuration within the Grispi Bulk Email Portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re now ready to configure the provider in Grispi Bulk Mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

ongratulations!<\/strong> You can now send emails using Amazon SES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more information, refer to the official Amazon SES documentation.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enabling Email Tracking (Optional)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To enable tracking for emails sent via SES, a few additional steps are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to configure Amazon SNS (Simple Notification Service)<\/strong> to send webhook notifications to the Grispi Bulk Email Portal. Go to the SNS<\/strong> page in the AWS Console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Create a topic by selecting Topics<\/strong> and clicking Create Topic<\/strong>. Aside from the name, other fields are optional.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Next, create a Subscription<\/strong> linked to the topic:.
      -Select HTTPS<\/strong> as the protocol.
      -For the Endpoint URL<\/strong>, use the format:
      https:\/\/your-domain.com\/api\/v1\/webhooks\/aws<\/code>
      –Example:<\/strong> If Grispi is installed at https:\/\/campaigns.marketing.com<\/code>, use:
      https:\/\/campaigns.marketing.com\/api\/v1\/webhooks\/aws<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Make sure to disable Raw Message Delivery<\/strong>, as enabling it may cause webhook processing to fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      The subscription must be confirmed before use. If the URL is publicly accessible, Grispi will automatically confirm the subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You should see the subscription status change to Confirmed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Linking SES to SNS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Return to the SES dashboard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In the Domains<\/strong> section, select your verified domain and navigate to the Notifications<\/strong> tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Click Edit Configuration<\/strong> and choose the SNS topic you created for each notification type (Bounce, Complaint, Delivery, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Finally, associate this configuration with your configuration set:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Select the configuration set.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Under Add Destination<\/strong>, choose SNS<\/strong> from the dropdown.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Select the notification types (except Send<\/strong> and Rendering Failure<\/strong>) and assign the SNS topic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        That\u2019s it! \ud83c\udf89 You are now set up to send and track emails using Amazon SES and Grispi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Throttling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Amazon SES imposes rate limits on email sending. By default, you can send 1 email per second<\/strong>, though you may request a higher limit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        To avoid hitting these limits, especially with medium or large mailing lists, it\u2019s recommended to implement a caching mechanism. For small lists, file-based caching may suffice. For larger lists, using Redis<\/strong> is advisable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
