How you doing?
And welcome back.
Now into this video, we'll look into the SES service from a practical point of view.
So first let's go ahead and go to the simple email service and within the first and the most important
thing is you have to create an identity.
So if you just look into the verified identities, currently there are no identities that are available.
Let's create an identity.
Now from here you can make use of domain or more simplistic from practical point of view.
You can also use the email address so you can add whatever email address that you use.
Let me use the one that I have, which is instructors at the rate KPBS in and once then you can create
an identity.
Now, at this stage you have to perform the verification.
So if you look into the identities, the verification status is pending.
Now, in the email that you had supplied, you will receive the verification request.
Let's go ahead and click on the link.
And here are verification has been successful.
So let's quickly refresh the page and the email is now verified.
So only after your identity is verified will you be able to send an email through this specific mail
address.
This is very important part to remember.
Apart from that, you'll also see that generally for new SES when you enable it will go to sandbox and
when your account is as part of sandbox, there are certain limits and restrictions that apply.
So in case if you want to overcome this, you can also request for the production access.
However, at this stage we will keep it very simple.
So let's do one thing.
Let's go to our identity.
Let's send a test email.
Now the email will be using formatted, and in this object I'll say hi in the body I'll say hi, and
in the scenario I'll just say custom.
So you have a custom recipient here and within your let me just call it as demo user at CP Labs dot
in.
All right.
Now if you send a test email immediately you see you got an error stating that the email address is
not verified.
So this email address to which you are sending the email to is not verified.
So again, we are discussing that there are certain limitations as well, so you have to take it while
your account is in sandbox.
So now let's do one thing.
Let's go to the verified identity.
Since this identity is verified, you will be able to send the email to this identity also.
So let's try it out.
So even in the two I'll say instructors at the CFPB starting in the subject high in the body height.
So this is the approach that will work because this identity is verified.
So I'll send a test email and here it states successfully sent a test email and in your email box you
should receive high and high and you have the email address.
And also it states via Amazon dot dotcom.
So that's a very high level overview about the basic setup related to the SES.
And with this will conclude today's video.
