Why teams connect Amazon SES and Azure Synapse Analytics

Land the messages, calls, and events from Amazon SES in Azure Synapse Analytics as live tables, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Amazon SES produces a constant stream of activity — messages sent and received, calls placed and answered, meetings held, and the delivery and engagement events attached to them. That record is what the rest of the company wants to analyze, and it usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay to get it out.

Stacksync syncs Suppression List, Verified Identities, Configuration Sets, Sending Events from Amazon SES into tables in Azure Synapse Analytics in real time, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the connection works in both directions, results computed in Azure Synapse Analytics — segments, contact updates, suppression flags — can be written back into fields in Amazon SES wherever it exposes them, so analysis lands where outreach actually happens.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync Contacts and their topic subscription state between the SES contact list and a Postgres database or CRM so opt-outs propagate in both directions.
  • 02 Push warehouse or CRM audience segments into SES as Contacts using CreateContact or a bulk CreateImportJob (up to 1M contacts per job) to feed marketing sends.
  • 03 Consolidate SaaS data alongside lake data so analysts join both through one SQL surface.
  • 04 Load CRM and ERP records into Synapse dedicated SQL pool tables for enterprise reporting.

Common sync patterns

Where Amazon SES accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, contact fields, or suppression flags computed in Azure Synapse Analytics sync back onto records in Amazon SES, putting warehouse analysis where the outreach happens.

Queryable history that outlives retention

A continuously synced copy in Azure Synapse Analytics preserves messages, call logs, and events for reporting and audit even as they age out of Amazon SES or get purged inside it.

Communications analytics without ETL

Messages, calls, and events from Amazon SES arrive in Azure Synapse Analytics as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

What you can sync between Amazon SES and Azure Synapse Analytics

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Amazon SES objects Azure Synapse Analytics objects How this pairing syncs
Contacts Subscribers in the contact list with per-topic opt-in state; CRUD via CreateContact/ListContacts/UpdateContact/DeleteContact, each carrying a LastUpdatedTimestamp for polling. Materialized views Precomputed aggregates that speed reads of frequently synced result sets. Contacts is specific to Amazon SES and Materialized views to Azure Synapse Analytics — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contact Lists One list per AWS account, subdivided into Topics that group subscriptions; read and write via CreateContactList and GetContactList. SQL pools Dedicated or serverless compute contexts that determine how and where queries run. Contact Lists is specific to Amazon SES and SQL pools to Azure Synapse Analytics — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Email Templates Reusable subject/HTML/text templates with replacement variables; synced via CreateEmailTemplate, GetEmailTemplate, ListEmailTemplates, and UpdateEmailTemplate. Tables (dedicated SQL pool) Distributed warehouse tables that serve as sync destinations for analytics workloads. Email Templates is specific to Amazon SES and Tables (dedicated SQL pool) to Azure Synapse Analytics — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppression List Addresses auto-added on bounce or complaint; read with ListSuppressedDestinations and written with Put/DeleteSuppressedDestination to control re-sends. External tables Tables over files in the data lake, queried through serverless SQL and often read-only in syncs. Suppression List is specific to Amazon SES and External tables to Azure Synapse Analytics — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Verified Identities Email-address and domain identities cleared to send; managed via CreateEmailIdentity, ListEmailIdentities, GetEmailIdentity (DKIM and verification status). Views Curated projections used when downstream tools should not read base tables directly. Verified Identities is specific to Amazon SES and Views to Azure Synapse Analytics — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Configuration Sets Named send-time rule groups that attach event destinations, IP pools, and suppression options; managed via Create/List ConfigurationSet operations. Schemas Namespaces that separate staging, integration, and presentation layers. Configuration Sets is specific to Amazon SES and Schemas to Azure Synapse Analytics — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and Azure Synapse Analytics

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Amazon SES Azure Synapse Analytics Sub-second propagation

DetectionAmazon SES notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Message events (delivery, bounce, complaint, open, click) are pushed in near real time through configuration-set event destinations.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Azure Synapse Analytics as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Azure Synapse Analytics Amazon SES Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Azure Synapse Analytics for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on watermark columns.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Amazon SES through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon SES: Every SES API action except SendEmail, SendRawEmail, and SendTemplatedEmail is throttled to 1 request/second per Region; the send rate and 24-hour sending quota are account-specific, adjustable, and per Region.

How the Amazon SES and Azure Synapse Analytics connectors work

Amazon SES

Integration surface
AWS SES API v2 (REST/JSON over HTTPS) plus an SMTP sending interface
Authentication
AWS IAM credentials (access key + secret) signed with Signature Version 4, or an assumed IAM role via STS; the SMTP interface uses SMTP credentials derived from an IAM user
Change detection
Message events (delivery, bounce, complaint, open, click) are pushed in near real time through configuration-set event destinations (SNS/EventBridge/Firehose); contacts, templates, and suppression entries are polled via List/Get operations
Capabilities

Azure Synapse Analytics

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (TDS) with T-SQL for SQL pools; additional Spark and pipeline surfaces exist but syncs use the SQL endpoint
Authentication
SQL authentication or Microsoft Entra ID
Change detection
Polling on watermark columns; Synapse SQL pools do not expose log-based CDC for downstream consumers
