Get started with Jira Service Management for admins
Your first stop for learning how to get started with Jira Service Management.
Integrate with Amazon SES
This article highlights a new alerting feature that's natively available in Jira Service Management which is gradually rolling out to some Jira Service Management Cloud customers. It may not yet be visible or available on your site.
Jira Service Management is an alert and notification management solution complementary to Amazon SES. With this integration, Jira Service Management alerts are created for Amazon SES Bounce and Complaint notifications.
What does the integration offer?
Use the Amazon SES integration to forward Amazon SES Bounce and Complaint notifications to Jira Service Management. Jira Service Management determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until they are acknowledged or closed.
How does the integration work?
When Amazon SES receives a bounce or complaint message, an alert is automatically created in Jira Service Management through the integration.
Set up the integration
Amazon SES is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
Add an Amazon SES integration in Jira Service Management
Configure the integration in Amazon SES

If you're using the Free or Standard plan in Jira Service Management, you can only add this integration from your team’s operations page. To access the feature through Settings (gear icon) > Products (under JIRA SETTINGS) > OPERATIONS, you need to be on Premium or Enterprise plan.
Adding an integration from your team’s operations page makes your team the owner of the integration. This means Jira Service Management only assigns the alerts received through this integration to your team.
