Use Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) to send emails Follow

Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) allows you send transactional email, marketing messages, or any other type of high-quality content to your users.

 

Step 1: Create SMTP Credentials

To send emails through the Amazon SES SMTP interface, begin by creating SMTP credentials - a user name and a password - as shown below:

  • In the left navigation bar, click the “SMTP Settings” option.

  • Click the “Create My SMTP Credentials” button.

  • Copy your credentials or click the “Download Credentials” button as the password will not be shown again.

Step 2: Verify An Email Address

Add and verify your email address following these steps:

  • Log into the Amazon SES Console.

  • Click the “Verify a New Email Address” link.

  • In the “Verify a New Email Address” dialog, enter the email address you wish to send messages from and click the “Verify This Email Address” button.

  • You should now receive a verification message from Amazon SES asking you to confirm that you are the owner of the email address. Click the verification link in the message.

  • NOTE: The verification link is only valid for 24 hours after your original request.

  • Check the status of the email address in the Amazon SES Console. The status of the email address should change from “pending verification” to “verified”.

  • You can now use Amazon SES to send email messages from this address. To send a test email, check the box next to the verified email address, and then click the “Send a Test Email” button. Refer to the Amazon SES documentation for more information.

Step 3: Request Removal Of Amazon SES Restrictions

To protect customers from fraud and abuse, Amazon SES does not immediately grant unlimited Amazon SES usage to new users. A number of restrictions are initially in effect, such as only being able to send email to and from verified email addresses and being limited to a maximum of 200 messages in every 24-hour period.

To remove these restriction on recipient addresses and increase the sending limits, request a higher level of access in the Amazon Support Center.

Step 4: Add The Account In Salesmate To Use Amazon SES

  • Inside Salesmate, Click on the profile icon top right corner
  • Click on "Go to My account"
  • Under "Email Settings" >> Click "SMTP & Bcc" tab
  • Click "Add Email Account"
  • Select "Custom SMTP"

Enter the SMTP connection details, as:

  • User Name: USERNAME
  • Password: PASSWORD
  • From Name: NAME
  • From Email: EMAIL_ADDRESS
  • Host: email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com [ Replace based on your SMTP Settings page value for Server Name ] 
  • Port: 465
  • Secure: SSL

USERNAME and PASSWORD placeholders should be replaced with the correct values from the credentials created in Step 1, while the EMAIL_ADDRESS placeholder should be replaced with the SES-verified email address. HOST will change based on LOCATION you are at. Thus, verify it on your SMTP Settings page in Step 1.
