To send email for campaigns and journeys in the current project, you first have to enable the email channel for the project. If you don't plan to send email for any campaigns or journeys in a project, you can disable the email channel for the project.
Note that you don't need to enable the email channel to send transactional emails, which are emails that are typically sent only once in response to a specific action. For information about sending transactional email, see Sending email in Amazon Pinpoint.
