AWS SDK for JavaScript Ses Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native
@aws-sdk/client-ses is an AWS SDK for JavaScript package that allows you to interact with the Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). SES is a cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. The package provides a variety of functionalities to manage email sending, email receiving, and email analytics.
Send Email
This feature allows you to send an email using Amazon SES. The code sample demonstrates how to configure the SES client, set up the email parameters, and send the email.
const { SESClient, SendEmailCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-ses');
const client = new SESClient({ region: 'us-east-1' });
const params = {
Destination: {
ToAddresses: ['recipient@example.com'],
},
Message: {
Body: {
Text: { Data: 'Hello, this is a test email.' },
},
Subject: { Data: 'Test Email' },
},
Source: 'sender@example.com',
};
const run = async () => {
try {
const data = await client.send(new SendEmailCommand(params));
console.log('Email sent successfully:', data);
} catch (err) {
console.error('Error sending email:', err);
}
};
run();Verify Email Identity
This feature allows you to verify an email address with Amazon SES. The code sample demonstrates how to initiate the email verification process.
const { SESClient, VerifyEmailIdentityCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-ses');
const client = new SESClient({ region: 'us-east-1' });
const params = {
EmailAddress: 'user@example.com',
};
const run = async () => {
try {
const data = await client.send(new VerifyEmailIdentityCommand(params));
console.log('Email identity verification initiated:', data);
} catch (err) {
console.error('Error verifying email identity:', err);
}
};
run();List Verified Email Addresses
This feature allows you to list all email addresses that have been verified with Amazon SES. The code sample demonstrates how to retrieve and display the list of verified email addresses.
const { SESClient, ListVerifiedEmailAddressesCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-ses');
const client = new SESClient({ region: 'us-east-1' });
const run = async () => {
try {
const data = await client.send(new ListVerifiedEmailAddressesCommand({}));
console.log('Verified email addresses:', data.VerifiedEmailAddresses);
} catch (err) {
console.error('Error listing verified email addresses:', err);
}
};
run();Nodemailer is a module for Node.js applications to allow easy email sending. It supports various transport methods, including SMTP, and is highly configurable. Compared to @aws-sdk/client-ses, Nodemailer is more general-purpose and can be used with any email service provider, not just Amazon SES.
SendGrid is a cloud-based service that provides email delivery and marketing campaigns. The @sendgrid/mail package allows you to send emails using SendGrid's API. Compared to @aws-sdk/client-ses, SendGrid offers additional features like email templates, analytics, and marketing campaign management.
Mailgun is an email automation service that provides a powerful API for sending, receiving, and tracking emails. The mailgun-js package allows you to interact with Mailgun's API. Compared to @aws-sdk/client-ses, Mailgun offers advanced email analytics and a more extensive set of email management features.

Amazon Simple Email Service
This document contains reference information for the Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) API, version 2010-12-01. This document is best used in conjunction with the Amazon SES Developer Guide.
For a list of Amazon SES endpoints to use in service requests, see Regions and Amazon SES in the Amazon SES Developer Guide.
This documentation contains reference information related to the following:
To install this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-ses using your favorite package manager:
npm install @aws-sdk/client-sesyarn add @aws-sdk/client-sespnpm add @aws-sdk/client-sesThe AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.
To send a request, you only need to import the SESClient and
the commands you need, for example ListIdentitiesCommand:
// ES5 example
const { SESClient, ListIdentitiesCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-ses");
// ES6+ example
import { SESClient, ListIdentitiesCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-ses";
To send a request, you:
send operation on client with command object as input.destroy() to close open connections.// a client can be shared by different commands.
const client = new SESClient({ region: "REGION" });
const params = {
/** input parameters */
};
const command = new ListIdentitiesCommand(params);
We recommend using await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:
// async/await.
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
// error handling.
} finally {
// finally.
}
Async-await is clean, concise, intuitive, easy to debug and has better error handling as compared to using Promise chains or callbacks.
You can also use Promise chaining to execute send operation.
client.send(command).then(
(data) => {
// process data.
},
(error) => {
// error handling.
}
);
Promises can also be called using .catch() and .finally() as follows:
client
.send(command)
.then((data) => {
// process data.
})
.catch((error) => {
// error handling.
})
.finally(() => {
// finally.
});
We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell, but they are supported by the send operation.
// callbacks.
client.send(command, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});
The client can also send requests using v2 compatible style. However, it results in a bigger bundle size and may be dropped in next major version. More details in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript
import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/client-ses";
const client = new AWS.SES({ region: "REGION" });
// async/await.
try {
const data = await client.listIdentities(params);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
// error handling.
}
// Promises.
client
.listIdentities(params)
.then((data) => {
// process data.
})
.catch((error) => {
// error handling.
});
// callbacks.
client.listIdentities(params, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});
When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
/**
* The keys within exceptions are also parsed.
* You can access them by specifying exception names:
* if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
* const value = error.specialKeyInException;
* }
*/
}
