Send SES Email
- Ben Clark
The Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) provides an email solution that is easy to integrate and provides very quick sends suitable for time sensitive emails including password resets and order confirmations.
Before starting any integration read through the “Quick Start” guide for SES below:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/quick-start.html
You will need to make sure you are not in the SES sandbox if you want to send production volumes of emails.
