send_templated_email#

SES.Client.send_templated_email(**kwargs)#

Composes an email message using an email template and immediately queues it for sending.

To send email using this operation, your call must meet the following requirements:

The call must refer to an existing email template. You can create email templates using the CreateTemplate operation.
The message must be sent from a verified email address or domain.
If your account is still in the Amazon SES sandbox, you may only send to verified addresses or domains, or to email addresses associated with the Amazon SES Mailbox Simulator. For more information, see Verifying Email Addresses and Domains in the Amazon SES Developer Guide.
The maximum message size is 10 MB.
Calls to the SendTemplatedEmail operation may only include one Destination parameter. A destination is a set of recipients that receives the same version of the email. The Destination parameter can include up to 50 recipients, across the To:, CC: and BCC: fields.
The Destination parameter must include at least one recipient email address. The recipient address can be a To: address, a CC: address, or a BCC: address. If a recipient email address is invalid (that is, it is not in the format UserName@[SubDomain.]Domain.TopLevelDomain), the entire message is rejected, even if the message contains other recipients that are valid.

Warning

If your call to the SendTemplatedEmail operation includes all of the required parameters, Amazon SES accepts it and returns a Message ID. However, if Amazon SES can’t render the email because the template contains errors, it doesn’t send the email. Additionally, because it already accepted the message, Amazon SES doesn’t return a message stating that it was unable to send the email.

For these reasons, we highly recommend that you set up Amazon SES to send you notifications when Rendering Failure events occur. For more information, see Sending Personalized Email Using the Amazon SES API in the Amazon Simple Email Service Developer Guide.

Parameters:

Source (string) –
[REQUIRED]

The email address that is sending the email. This email address must be either individually verified with Amazon SES, or from a domain that has been verified with Amazon SES. For information about verifying identities, see the Amazon SES Developer Guide.

If you are sending on behalf of another user and have been permitted to do so by a sending authorization policy, then you must also specify the SourceArn parameter. For more information about sending authorization, see the Amazon SES Developer Guide.

Note
Amazon SES does not support the SMTPUTF8 extension, as described in RFC6531. for this reason, The email address string must be 7-bit ASCII. If you want to send to or from email addresses that contain Unicode characters in the domain part of an address, you must encode the domain using Punycode. Punycode is not permitted in the local part of the email address (the part before the @ sign) nor in the “friendly from” name. If you want to use Unicode characters in the “friendly from” name, you must encode the “friendly from” name using MIME encoded-word syntax, as described in Sending raw email using the Amazon SES API. For more information about Punycode, see RFC 3492.
Destination (dict) –
[REQUIRED]

The destination for this email, composed of To:, CC:, and BCC: fields. A Destination can include up to 50 recipients across these three fields.
- ToAddresses (list) –
  
  The recipients to place on the To: line of the message.
  - (string) –
- CcAddresses (list) –
  
  The recipients to place on the CC: line of the message.
  - (string) –
- BccAddresses (list) –
  
  The recipients to place on the BCC: line of the message.
  - (string) –
ReplyToAddresses (list) –
The reply-to email address(es) for the message. If the recipient replies to the message, each reply-to address receives the reply.
- (string) –
ReturnPath (string) – The email address that bounces and complaints are forwarded to when feedback forwarding is enabled. If the message cannot be delivered to the recipient, then an error message is returned from the recipient’s ISP; this message is forwarded to the email address specified by the ReturnPath parameter. The ReturnPath parameter is never overwritten. This email address must be either individually verified with Amazon SES, or from a domain that has been verified with Amazon SES.
SourceArn (string) –
This parameter is used only for sending authorization. It is the ARN of the identity that is associated with the sending authorization policy that permits you to send for the email address specified in the Source parameter.

For example, if the owner of example.com (which has ARN arn:aws:ses:us-east-1:123456789012:identity/example.com) attaches a policy to it that authorizes you to send from user@example.com, then you would specify the SourceArn to be arn:aws:ses:us-east-1:123456789012:identity/example.com, and the Source to be user@example.com.

For more information about sending authorization, see the Amazon SES Developer Guide.
ReturnPathArn (string) –
This parameter is used only for sending authorization. It is the ARN of the identity that is associated with the sending authorization policy that permits you to use the email address specified in the ReturnPath parameter.

For example, if the owner of example.com (which has ARN arn:aws:ses:us-east-1:123456789012:identity/example.com) attaches a policy to it that authorizes you to use feedback@example.com, then you would specify the ReturnPathArn to be arn:aws:ses:us-east-1:123456789012:identity/example.com, and the ReturnPath to be feedback@example.com.

For more information about sending authorization, see the Amazon SES Developer Guide.
