API and a Lambda Function for sending emails

Api Gateway -> Lambda (Send Email) -> SES (Simple Email Service)

Description

This is a serverless component consisting of:

• an Api Gateway with a POST /send endpoint, that requires three parameters:

  • toEmails, Array of strings, that represent all the emails you want to send an email to,
  • subject, a string representing the subject of the email
  • message, a string representing the message of the email, can be either HTML or regular text It also accepts two optional ones: ccEmails and replyToEmails, both of Array of strings type.

• a Lambda that sends an email to one or more specified email addresses. Also, depending if the message is in a Text or HTML format, it will send it in either of those formats. The toEmails,ccEmails, and replyToEmails parameters must be of Array type.

It's a Nuts & Bolts application component for AWS Serverless Application Repository.

Deployment Parameters

This component has two CloudFormation deployment parameters:

• FromEmail, a required parameter, represents the email sender. Must be a SES verified email. If you attempt to send email using a non-verified address or domain, the operation results in an "Email address not verified" error.
• CorsOrigin, an optional parameter, where you can restrict access to only specified domains.
