Amazon Simple Email Service

2017/09/18 - Amazon Simple Email Service - 3 new 1 updated api methods

Changes  Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) now lets you customize the domains used for tracking open and click events. Previously, open and click tracking links referred to destinations hosted on domains operated by Amazon SES. With this feature, you can use your own branded domains for capturing open and click events.

UpdateConfigurationSetTrackingOptions (new) Link ¶

Modifies an association between a configuration set and a custom domain for open and click event tracking.

By default, images and links used for tracking open and click events are hosted on domains operated by Amazon SES. You can configure a subdomain of your own to handle these events by redirecting them to the Amazon SES-operated domain. For information about using configuration sets, see Configuring Custom Domains to Handle Open and Click Tracking in the Amazon SES Developer Guide.
