Integrate Opsgenie with Amazon SES
Overview
Opsgenie is an alert and notification management solution complementary to Amazon SES. With this integration, Opsgenie 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 Opsgenie. Opsgenie 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 Opsgenie through the integration.
Set up the integration
Amazon SES is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
