We are using the official whatsapp business cloud api (with Make).
We are wondering if there is any chance we can send messages to groups we are list in?
I could not found any documentation about it.
Thanks!
I am following the Amazon docs to add a Cloudwatch destination to a configuration set in our Amazon SES account. It is possible to select the Bounce, Delivery and Complaint checkboxes in this modal, but the other checkboxes are disabled. Why is this? Must I take care of some setup in my Cloudwatch dashboard first?
If I try to set up an SNS destination instead of a Cloudwatch destination, I can indeed select the Click and Open checkboxes.
I provide SES Services to many of my clients in different regions of the world. So their apps send out emails through my AWS SES account. It has become a problem to trace out how to measure their usage and stats, IAM wise or some other ways and then be able to bill them for what they have consumed. There must be a way to break stats into some kind of Sub Accounts or something
Can someone help regarding this ?
You have two options for such fine-grained monitoring, according to the official docs:
Feedback notifications
This option allows the most detailed reporting for your billing needs. However, it also requires more work on your part, because you need to build handlers (i.e. lambda functions) which will log sending/bounces/complaints in some persistence (i.e. DynamoDB table). More details here.
Event publishing
This option uses CloudWatch for persistence and you have the (probably) familiar CloudWatch UI for reporting. You will have to enforce (somehow) your clients to use a AWS specific SMTP header or SendEmail / SendRawEmail API calls. Less work on your part but you need to find a way to make your clients help you. More details here.
I am using Amazon SES to send transactional application emails. I want an audit log of every email sent by the system.
As an example, I might want to see a log of every email we sent to john.smith#example.com.
I followed the instructions for using Cloudwatch to log SES events. However, this only actually logs metrics, not data logs. So all I see in Cloudwatch is a graph of how many emails were sent at different times under the metrics tab. I can't search a log anywhere to find individual SES events.
I also looked into using Cloudtrail to log SES events, but Cloudtrail only logs management events. It does not log data events like emails being sent.
I have setup SNS notifications on all SES events (such as send or bounce). This is really useful, but does not achieve my aim of having a long term audit log.
As far as I can tell Amazon do not support the kind of logging I want to record. Maybe I could write events to our application database as we produce them, but it seems a shame to have to introduce my own custom logging system.
Does anyone know a way to have AWS store my SES data events?
Yes, Amazon doesn't have any easy to monitor you ask, an easier solution would be to add a Configuration set header and a unique message tag whenever any email is being sent to john.smith#example.com, In configuration set, you can enable Cloudwatch or preferred SNS Destination and create delivery dashboard using link below:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/bouncecomplaintdashboard.html
This isn't the logs but It creates a nice excel file of email details which can be used for Audit purpose.
I opened a ticket with AWS about this, here is their response.
I understand that you wanted to know whether SES provides logs about events of an email that was accepted by SES for delivery in a searchable format. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
SES provides logs as notification[1] for each event(Delivery, Bounce, Complaint) to SNS and it doesn’t provide event logs in a consolidated manner which would be helpful for indexing according to email addresses and searching purpose. However, in SNS you can configure a variety of subscriber like(Email, SQS, Lambda, HTTP endpoint) where the logs in JSON format would be delivered. In the destination of SNS like Lambda and HTTP Endpoint or email, you can parse the JSON file and store in a suitable format which would be helpful for indexing and searching purpose.
If SQS is being used, each JSON log will be stored individually in the SQS queue for some time. You can periodically query the SQS endpoint and retrieve the logs and consolidate it to a single file and use it for analysis.
Apart from that, unfortunately SES doesn’t provide any other format of logs for an email it accepted for delivery.
Do let me know if you require any further assistance, I’ll be happy to help.

We would like to manage AWS users billing cycles. Does AWS provide an API to get this informtation programmatically ?
Using Cloudwatch, you can get Billing Alerts. You will be notified by SNS when your billing gets above your defined limits. Read more about this in this blog post or in the documentation. Of course you can also use the CloudWatch API to get custom reports using this data.
