Setting Up Amazon SES API for Dify

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a cost-effective email service designed for developers who need to send transactional or marketing emails. Integrating SES with Dify, an AI-powered platform, can enhance email automation and deliverability. Below is a step-by-step guide to setting up Amazon SES API for Dify.

Prerequisites

  • An active AWS account.
  • Access to AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management).
  • A verified domain or email address in Amazon SES.
  • Dify account with API access permissions.

Step 1: Configure Amazon SES

  1. Log in to AWS Console: Navigate to the Amazon SES dashboard.
  2. Verify Domain or Email:
    • Under Identity Management, select Domains or Email Addresses.
    • Click Verify a New Domain or Verify a New Email Address and follow the prompts.
  3. Request Production Access (if needed):
    • New SES accounts start in sandbox mode. Submit a request to move to production for higher sending limits.

Step 2: Create IAM User and Permissions

  1. Go to IAM Console: Navigate to IAM.
  2. Create a New User:
    • Click Users > Add User.
    • Provide a username (e.g., DifySESUser) and select Programmatic access.
  3. Attach Policies:
    • Search for AmazonSESFullAccess and attach it to the user.
    • For tighter security, create a custom policy with only necessary permissions:
      {
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "ses:SendEmail",
        "ses:SendRawEmail"
      ],
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}
  4. Save Credentials: Note the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key for Dify integration.

Step 3: Configure Dify with SES API

  1. Log in to Dify: Navigate to your Dify dashboard.
  2. Locate Email Settings:
    • Go to Integrations or Email Configuration.
  3. Enter SES Credentials:
    • Provider: Select Amazon SES.
    • AWS Access Key ID: Paste the IAM user’s access key.
    • AWS Secret Access Key: Paste the secret key.
    • Region: Specify the AWS region (e.g., us-east-1).
  4. Test Configuration:
    • Send a test email to verify the setup.

Step 4: Monitor and Optimize

  • SES Dashboard: Track sends, bounces, and complaints.
  • Dify Logs: Check for failed email attempts.
  • Feedback Loops: Set up SNS notifications for bounces/complaints.
