Canonical page: https://notifly.io/integrations/amazon-ses
Last updated: 2026-10-16

An IAM access key pair, your region and an optional configuration set. Sends go through the SES v2 API on your AWS account.

## What you need from Amazon SES

The fields the dashboard asks for when you connect SES, from its Delivery Provider Credentials form:

| Field | Required | Stored | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Access key ID | Required | Encrypted at rest |  |
| Secret access key | Required | Encrypted at rest |  |
| Region | Required | As entered |  |
| Configuration Set Name | Optional | As entered | The name of the SES Configuration Set to apply to sent emails |
| From email address | Required | As entered | Use the same email address you used to authenticate your delivery provider |
| Sender name | Required | As entered |  |

## Connect Amazon SES in the dashboard

1. Sign in at https://app.notifly.io, open Integration Store in the sidebar and choose Connect Provider.
2. In the Connect Integration sheet, open the E-Mail tab, find SES and choose Connect.
3. Pick the environment the integration belongs to. Development and Production keep separate integrations.
4. Fill in Delivery Provider Credentials with the fields above, then choose Create Integration.

## Trigger a notification

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.notifly.io/v1/events/trigger \
  -H "Authorization: ApiKey $NOTIFLY_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"<workflow-id>","to":{"subscriberId":"<subscriber-id>"},"payload":{"body":"Hello from Notifly"}}'
```

## What Notifly adds around Amazon SES

- Workflows around the send: One trigger runs a workflow: this provider’s step can sit beside in-app, email, SMS, push and chat steps, behind digest, delay and throttle steps.
- Subscriber preferences, enforced at send: Before each step runs, the subscriber’s workflow and channel preferences are checked; an opted-out step is skipped and the reason is recorded.
- An in-app Inbox next to it: The same workflow can write to the Notifly Inbox, a real-time in-app feed you embed with the React component or the JavaScript SDK.
- Per-trigger provider parameters: Anything the trigger passes under overrides.providers.<provider id> is merged into the request Notifly sends to the provider, per workflow or per step.
- Activity you can debug: Every message gets execution details in the activity feed, including the response or error the provider returned.
- Secrets encrypted at rest: API keys, tokens and service accounts are stored encrypted with AES-256; new and re-saved credentials use authenticated AES-256-GCM. The table above marks which of this provider’s fields that covers.
- Several accounts, one primary: Connect more than one account on this channel. The primary integration is the default; another active integration takes the send when its conditions match the subscriber or the tenant in the trigger’s context.
