Amazon SES Integration

Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) is a cost-effective email service built on the reliable and scalable infrastructure that Amazon.com developed to serve its own customer base. Use Opsgenie's Amazon SES Integration to forward notifications to Opsgenie.

Opsgenie is an alert and notification management solution that is highly complementary to Amazon SES. With this integration, Opsgenie alerts are created for Amazon SES Bounce and Complaint notifications.

What does Opsgenie offer Amazon SES users?

Use Opsgenie's Amazon SES Integration to forward Amazon SES Bounce and Complaint notifications to Opsgenie. Opsgenie determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.

Functionality of the integration

When Amazon SES receives a bounce or complaint message, an alert is created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
