Streamline Email Sending with AWS SES, Lambda, and S3 Integration

In today's digital world, email remains a vital communication channel for businesses. To simplify the process of sending bulk emails, AWS provides a powerful combination of services: Simple Email Service (SES), Lambda, and Simple Storage Service (S3). In this blog post, we will explore how to integrate these services to efficiently send emails by uploading recipient lists to S3. This streamlined approach saves time, enhances scalability, and offers greater flexibility for email campaigns.

Setting up the Integration:

Creating an AWS SES Configuration:

  • Activate the SES service in your AWS account.
  • Verify your domain or email addresses to establish sender identity.
  • Configure email and customizations based on your requirements.
    Setting Up an S3 Bucket:

  • Create an S3 bucket to store the recipient lists.

  • Configure appropriate access permissions to ensure secure and controlled data handling.

Developing an AWS Lambda Function:

  • Create a Lambda function that triggers upon a file upload event in the S3 bucket.
  • Implement the necessary code to extract recipient information from the uploaded file.

Designing the Workflow:

  • Define the logic to process each recipient in the uploaded list.
  • Personalize email content by dynamically populating recipient-specific information.
  • Leverage Lambda's scalability to handle large recipient lists efficiently.
