In this guide, you'll learn how to integrate your Amazon SES account into Snov.io using SMTP credentials and server settings.
You can connect your own email address to Snov.io and have full control over how your sender account performs.
If you have an Amazon SES email account, you can use SMTP settings to send emails with Snov.io.
1) Create your Amazon SES SMTP credentials
2) Add a new email account in Snov.io
Before connecting to Snov.io, make sure you've completed the account setup in Amazon SES:
- Log in to your Amazon AWS account
- Complete domain verification
- Move your account out of the sandbox
Step 1. Create your SMTP credentials in Amazon SES
To send emails through the Amazon SES SMTP settings, you must create SMTP credentials — a username and a password.
To create your SMTP credentials:
- Sign in to the Amazon SES console.
- Choose SMTP Settings in the left menu.
- Click on Create my SMTP credentials.
Copy your credentials to a safe place - you will need to enter them into the email settings in Snov.io.
After you created your SMTP credentials, you can add your account in Snov.io to send emails through the Amazon SES SMTP.
Step 2. Add a new email account in Snov.io
In the second step, you’ll need to enter your SMTP and IMAP settings on the email account configuration page.
Go to the Email Accounts page. Click Add email account. Choose Amazon SES from the email providers list.
Entering SMTP settings
In the SMTP section, enter your SMTP credentials and the server settings for sending emails.
Check the table below for guidance on what info to fill in each mandatory field.
SMTP credentials:
| Field | Explainer |
| (1) From name | This is the sender name your recipients will see in the "From" field.
Enter your full name and company name. |
| (2) From email |
Enter the Username from SMTP credentials created in Amazon SES
|
| (3) Email Password | Enter the Password from SMTP credentials created in Amazon SES. |
SMTP server settings:
| Field | Example | Explainer |
| (4) Host | email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com | SMTP hosts are unique to each AWS Region.
Select the SMTP host with the appropriate region. |
| (5) Port | 465 for SSL encryption
587 for TLS encryption |
Select SMTP port from a dropdown menu.
Amazon SES works with both ports. |
Entering IMAP settings
The IMAP server helps Snov.io track incoming responses and add them to your email campaign statistics.
Amazon SES only provides email-sending services, so no IMAP (receiving emails) settings are available there.
If you want an email account to receive and track responses, you can use the default IMAP settings from Google.
Remember, without adding IMAP settings, your email account will be connected conditionally. Read more about the IMAP error.
After entering all the required settings for your email account, complete the setup by testing the connection.
Click on Send a test email to check the connection. Snov.io will send you a test email with the subject "Testing your new email with Snov.io" to confirm that the connection is successful.
Finally, click the Save Settings button.
Your email account setup is now complete and good to go.
