Creating an email orchestration sending role in Amazon Pinpoint

Amazon Pinpoint uses your Amazon SES resources for sending email messages that are either part of a campaign or a journey. To set up Amazon Pinpoint to use your Amazon SES resources to send email, create or update an IAM role to grant Amazon Pinpoint access.

Note

You only have to create an Orchestration sending role arn if you are sending email from a campaign or a journey. For direct send email, you must have permissions for ses:SendEmail and ses:SendRawEmail.

Create orchestration sending role arn

  1. Open the Amazon Pinpoint console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/pinpoint/.

  2. On the All projects page, choose the project that you want to update email settings for.

  3. In the navigation pane, under Settings, choose Email.

  4. On the Identities tab, choose Edit.

  5. Choose Enable campaigns and journeys for this email channel.

  6. For IAM role choose either:

    • Create a new role (Recommended) – To have Amazon Pinpoint create the IAM role and configure the IAM roles permissions. Enter a name for the IAM role in IAM role name.

    • Use an existing role – If you have an existing IAM role that already contains permissions to allow Amazon Pinpoint access to ses:SendEmail and ses:SendRawEmail then choose that IAM role from the drop down list. If you need to create the IAM role, see IAM role for sending email through Amazon SES in the Amazon Pinpoint Developer Guide.

  7. Choose I acknowledge that the IAM role I selected has the required permissions.

  8. Choose Save.

Deleting an email orchestration sending role in Amazon Pinpoint

You can delete the Orchestration sending role arn when you don't want to send email messages for the project. To delete the Orchestration sending role arn, delete the email channel from the project.

Important

This action deletes the email channel from your project. Only do this if you don't want to send emails from a campaign or a journey.

To delete the email channel, use the delete-email-channel command:

aws pinpoint delete-email-channel --application-id application-id

Where:

  • application-id is the ID of the Amazon Pinpoint project that contains the email channel.

The response to this command is the JSON definition of the email channel that you deleted.
