Documented steps

  1. Endpoint: https://email.{region}.amazonaws.com/v2/email/outbound-emails — SES is regional; the identity you send from must be verified in that same region
  2. Sign requests with AWS SigV4 (easiest via an AWS SDK: SESv2 SendEmail); credentials need ses:SendEmail permission
  3. Body: 'FromEmailAddress' (a verified identity), 'Destination' {ToAddresses/CcAddresses/BccAddresses — max 50 recipients total}, and 'Content'
  4. 'Content' is exactly one of: 'Simple' {Subject.Data, Body.Text.Data and/or Body.Html.Data, optional Attachments[]}, 'Raw' {Data: base64 MIME}, or 'Template' {TemplateName, TemplateData JSON string}
  5. HTTP 200 returns 'MessageId' — store it; delivery outcomes arrive via SNS/CloudWatch/event destinations, not the API response
  6. Docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/APIReference-V2/API_SendEmail.html
