Amazon SES Email

How to Integrate Amazon SES Email with Getfly CRM

To integrate your Amazon SES email account with the Getfly system, please follow the steps below:

1. Obtain Amazon SES Integration Information

1.1 Verify an Email Address

Visit https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com and log in to your Amazon account

In the search bar, enter SES and select Amazon Simple Email Service

Click on Identities. You will see a list of verified domains and email addresses

If no verified email is listed, click Create identity to verify an email address (Note: At least one verified email is required; domain verification is optional)

Select Email address, enter the email you want to verify, and click Create identity

Amazon will send a verification email to that address. Click the link inside to complete verification

Once verified, your email will appear with a green checkmark in the Identities list

1.2 Retrieve SMTP Server Address and Port

In SMTP Settings, note the SMTP endpoint and Port number

If using SSL, prepend ssl:// to the SMTP server address

For example: ssl://email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

Port: 465 for SSL

1.3. Create SMTP Credentials In the SMTP Settings section, click Create SMTP credentials

Click Create user

You will receive the following configuration details:

SMTP Username: Email account username

SMTP Password: Email account password

2. Configure Email in Getfly CRM

After retrieving the necessary details from Amazon SES:

Log in to your Getfly CRM system

Navigate to Settings → Integration → Email Marketing Integration → Connect to Amazon

Fill in the configuration form with the following information:

Sender Email Address: Enter the email address that was verified in Step 1.1

Account Used to Send Emails: Enter the SMTP Username from Step 1.3

SMTP Address: Enter the SMTP server address from Step 1.2

Sender Display Name: Your company or brand name (e.g., GETFLY)

Password: Enter the SMTP Password from Step 1.3

Encryption Method:

Select TLS if using email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

Select SSL if using ssl://email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

Port Number: Use the port from Step 1.2 (e.g., 465 for SSL)

Click Save Configuration, then use the Sender Email Address to test the email connection. Note: Amazon SES only allows test emails to be sent to the same email address used for sending.

If successful, the system will display: "Email sent successfully. Please check your inbox."

Important Notes: If integration fails, carefully review and recheck all configuration details

By default, new Amazon SES accounts operate in sandbox mode. You must request production access before sending real emails. Follow the official guide here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/request-production-access.html

To allow employees to send emails using their personal addresses, those email addresses must also be verified on Amazon SES

Adding a Visa card to your Amazon account is not required for configuration, but not doing so will limit the number of emails you can send

Domain verification is optional and not required for email integration
