Overview
Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) integrates with Kizen to provide a reliable, scalable email delivery service for sending transactional and automated emails. This integration allows Kizen to send email using your Amazon SES account, giving you greater control over deliverability, reputation, and sending limits.
What Is Amazon SES?

Why Use Amazon SES with Kizen
Kizen users typically use Amazon SES when they need:
Greater control over email deliverability and sender reputation
A dedicated email sending service for transactional or automated emails
The ability to scale email sending as usage grows
Visibility into email performance, bounces, and complaints
Using Amazon SES with Kizen is especially helpful for businesses that send high volumes of automated email or want tighter control over how email is sent and monitored.
How the Integration Works
When Amazon SES is enabled in Kizen, Kizen uses your SES configuration to send email on your behalf. Emails triggered by workflows, automations, or system actions are passed to Amazon SES, which handles delivery to recipients.
Amazon SES manages the underlying email infrastructure, including sending limits, reputation, and feedback handling, while Kizen manages the content, triggers, and automation logic. This separation allows Kizen to focus on orchestration and workflows, while SES handles reliable email delivery.
