SES

Learn how to integrate Amazon SES with Fyno using SMTP credentials or AWS access keys, configure sender details, and enable delivery tracking through SNS and SES configuration sets.

Before integrating Amazon SES with Fyno, you will need to have an account already set up with SES.

You must have an Amazon SES SMTP username and password to access the SMTP interface. These credentials are different from your AWS access keys and are unique to each region.

Navigate to the Integrations page. Under "Email" section, click on the "SES" button.

Auth Type: There are 2 different Auth Types:

Message Delivery Status

While Fyno has the capacity to track the notification delivery status, SES requires a manual update of the Fyno Callback Endpoint in order to receive these reports. To update the Callback manually follow these steps:

Log into your AWS account and navigate to SES. Find Configuration Sets from the left navigation menu and on the page that loads, click on Create Set.

For convenience and trackability name the new set as "Fyno-Ses-Configuration-Set" and click on Create Set.

Once the configuration is saved, click on the configuration, and navigate to the Events Destination tab on the ribbon menu.

On this page, click on Add Destination, select all the event types and click on Next.

From the Destination options on the new page, select Amazon SNS and name the destination as "Fyno-Ses-Destination".

Next, on the same page, click on Create SNS topic. Name it “Fyno-Ses-Sns-Topic” and click on Create Topic.

Select the topic “Fyno-Ses-Sns-Topic” from the SNS topic drop-down under “Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) topic” and click on Next.

Review your configuration and click on Add Destination button.

Now, you will need to access your Amazon SNS and navigate to Topics from the left navigation pane. On the page that loads, click on “Fyno-Ses-Sns-Topic” and click on Create Subscription.

On the page that loads, select the protocol as HTTPS from the menu.

For the end-point, please fill in Callback URL given in the SES Integration popup and check the box marked Enable raw message delivery and click on Create Subscription.

Your subscription request will automatically be approved by Fyno. To verify the same, click on Subscriptions on the left navigation panel,. Your subscription will now be listed with a status.
