How to check after sending an email - amazon-web-services

Question

I am using SES service of AWS for send email.
I use Python and boto3.
(https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/ses.html#SES.Client.send_email)
I know how to check the overall statistics.
(https://aws.amazon.com/ko/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ses-email-opens-clicks/)
But I don't know how to do individual inquiry.
After sending an email, message_id and request_id are returned.
I think we're going to use message_id, request_id to search.
I don't know what to do.

Answer 1

Configure SES to send notifications (send, deliver, bounce, open) to SNS topics.
Write a Lambda function to listen to the SNS topics. When a notification is received, write the event to your table (I use DynamoDB)
Now you have all your email events in a table
Here is the Lambda function I use for writing SES events to DynamoDB
const tableName = "DEV_EmailAuditLogs";
const AWS = require("aws-sdk");
AWS.config.update({ region: "us-east-1" });
const dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB({ apiVersion: "2012-10-08" });
exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
console.log("From SNS:", event.Records[0].Sns.Message);
console.log("Arn Topic:", event.Records[0].Sns.TopicArn);
const json = event.Records[0].Sns.Message;
const parsed = JSON.parse(json);
const type = parsed.eventType;
const sent = parsed.mail.timestamp.slice(0, -1);
let to, subject, from;
const headers = parsed.mail.headers;
for (const h of headers) {
switch (h.name) {
case "To":
to = h.value;
break;
case "From":
from = h.value;
break;
case "Subject":
subject = h.value;
break;
}
}
const eventData = parsed[type.toLowerCase()];
let created;
if (eventData && eventData.timestamp) {
created = eventData.timestamp.slice(0, -1);
} else {
created = sent;
}
var params = {
TableName: tableName,
Item: {
to: { S: to },
from: { S: from },
created: { S: created },
sent: { S: sent },
type: { S: type },
version: { N: "1" }
}
};
if (subject){
params.Item.subject = { S: subject };
}
dynamodb.putItem(params, function(err, data) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log(data);
}
});
};
