# Amazon SES
Amazon SES (opens new window) is an email platform that provides an easy, cost-effective way for you to send and receive email using your own email addresses and domains.
This connector enables workflows like auto-responders, email unsubscribe systems and applications that generate customer support tickets from incoming emails.
# API version
This connector uses the Amazon SES API V2 (opens new window).
# How to connect to Amazon SES on Workato
There are two ways to authenticate to your Amazon SES service:
- Using Access Key ID
- Using IAM role ARN
Workato recommends using Amazon IAM role
Workato recommends that you provision a dedicated integration role for this Workato connection. This helps to maintain permission boundaries, including controlled access and actions that are permitted by the third-party application (for example, Workato).
Refer to the Amazon documentation to learn how to create an IAM User (opens new window).
# Connecting with Access key
For this authentication method, you will need to provide the access key (opens new window).
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Connection name | Give this connection a unique name that identifies which Amazon SES instance it is connected to. |
| Authorization type | Select Access key. |
| Access key ID | The ID of the IAM user. |
| Secret access key | The secret of the IAM user. |
| Region | Region is typically provided in the SES account URL. If your account URL is https://console.aws.amazon.com/ses/home?region=us-east-1, the region will be us-east-1. |
