[Innovating Question] Using Amazon SES as SMTP in FormEmailer

[Himanshi]

Hi Henrique,

You cannot imagine what you have done to millions of the email hacking enthusiasts like me. FORM EMAILER was a boon discovery for me and I created many automated marketing automations using this tool. You rocked my life by minutes.

Today, I am testing another feature and was wondering if you can guide me.

In a Gmail account,  I configured amazon ses credentails to send email as different email id so that i can harness the potential of amazon ses to bypass the gmail limit. I am able to compose the emails in gmail and send them using the "Send as" feature in gmail through amazon ses smtp.

I set the other email(configured with ses smtp) as default sender email address in gmail. Now when I configure this formemailer to send the emails, it still takes the gmail smtp.

Is there anyway to use the amazon ses smtp with form emailer..

Any idea or response would be a great help to achieve my personal passion of creating automation in email marketing. I am highly passionate non-tech guy who understands things from you guys and feel proud of it

Love you..Looking for your responses.

Thanks much. Himanshi.

Hi Himanshi,

Thanks for the support. Really appreciate it.

FormEmailer was written before Gmail had a REST API. Maybe using you "send as" amazon address will work from this API.

I have no ideia if Google will still impose its email quota over the Apps Script even if you're using another provider.

Anyways, making the switch to Gmail API shouldn't be hard. But it requires changing the code a little bit.

I have not tested this, but switching the line 246 (in version 3.65, it's the "MailApp.sendEmail" line) with these should do it:

args.from = 'yo...@amazon.alias';
GmailApp.sendEmail(email.to, email.subject, email.body, args);

Good luck,

Henrique G. Abreu
