How to Integrate Amazon SES with Pabbly Email Marketing for Campaigns?

[dpsingh]

Hi Pabbly Support Team,

I have recently subscribed to the Pabbly Plus plan, and I’m planning to use Pabbly Email Marketing to run my email campaigns. I want to integrate Amazon SES as my SMTP service to ensure high deliverability and cost-efficiency for bulk emailing.

I need help and step-by-step guidance on the following:

1. Amazon SES Account Setup:
   • How do I create an Amazon SES account from scratch?
   • What region should I choose for best performance with Pabbly?
   • How do I verify my sender domain/email?
   • How can I request production access (to remove sandbox restrictions)?
2. Generating SMTP Credentials in Amazon SES:
   • How do I create and access SMTP username/password?
   • Which port and server should I use for SMTP in Pabbly?
3. Connecting Amazon SES with Pabbly Email:
   • Where exactly do I enter SMTP details in Pabbly?
   • Any specific settings to enable authentication, TLS/SSL, etc.?
4. Campaign Setup and Best Practices:
   • How do I create a successful email campaign once SES is connected?
   • What sending limits should I consider (daily and per second)?
   • How can I avoid bounces/spam issues while using SES?
   • Any recommendations for warming up a new SES account?
5. Monitoring & Deliverability:
   • How can I track delivery, open rates, bounces, etc., inside Pabbly?
   • Can I integrate bounce/complaint handling through Amazon SNS?

I want to make sure everything is set up correctly from day one. I’d really appreciate a step-by-step walkthrough or if you can share a detailed video/documentation link to guide me through the entire process.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Dalpat Singh

Hello @dpsingh,

Thank you for reaching out and for your detailed query.

At the moment, we don’t have a dedicated video specifically covering the entire Amazon SES account setup from scratch. However, you can find several helpful tutorials on YouTube that guide you through creating and configuring an Amazon SES account, including domain/email verification and requesting production access.

That said, we do have a video that explains how to obtain your SMTP credentials from Amazon SES and how to integrate Amazon SES with your Pabbly Email Marketing account. You can refer to that video to complete the SMTP setup within Pabbly.

Regarding monitoring email performance—such as delivery status, open rates, and bounces—you can track all of that directly within your Pabbly Email Marketing dashboard once the campaign is sent.

Feel free to check out the video linked in this response for SMTP setup, and let us know if you need any help during the process. We’ll be happy to assist further.
