Setting up the Amazon Pinpoint email channel
To set up the Amazon Pinpoint email channel, you start by verifying the email address or domain that you want to use when you send email from that project. Next, you create a project, enable the email channel in that project, and choose an email address or domain to use.
When you enable the email channel for the first time, Amazon Pinpoint doesn't immediately provide production access for email messaging. Instead, your AWS account has access only to the email sandbox, which imposes restrictions on your email traffic. To gain production access, submit a request to AWS Support.
Use the Email settings page to view information about email usage for your Amazon Pinpoint account, such as the number of emails that you've sent during the past 24 hours and whether there are sending restrictions on your account.
You can also use the Email settings page to enable or disable the email channel for the current project. If you disable the email channel for the project, you can't send email from campaigns or journeys in the project. However, you can send transactional email from your Amazon Pinpoint account. To enable Amazon Pinpoint to send email for your campaigns or journeys you must create or update an IAM role to allow Amazon Pinpoint to send email on your behalf through Amazon SES, see Creating an email orchestration sending role in Amazon Pinpoint.
In addition, you can use the Email settings page to verify email identities for the current project. In Amazon Pinpoint, an identity is an email address or domain that you use to send email. Every email address that you want to use as a From, Source, Sender, or Return path address in email has to be verified before you can send email with it by using Amazon Pinpoint.
