Why teams connect Amazon SES and Firebase

Turn the messages, calls, and events Amazon SES handles into live rows in Firebase, and write back to trigger new outbound communication, with both sides in sync in seconds.

Engineers reach communications tools like Amazon SES through APIs, which means auth tokens, webhooks, delivery callbacks, and rate limits, all maintained forever and all shaped differently for every tool. The data those tools produce, who was contacted, what was sent, and what came back, would be simple to use if it lived in Firebase next to everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Contacts, Contact Lists, Email Templates, Suppression List from Amazon SES into Subcollections, Realtime Database Nodes, Authentication Users, Cloud Storage Objects in Firebase and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Communication activity lands in the database as ordinary rows you can query and join, and rows your code writes, such as a queued outbound message or an updated contact, flow back into Amazon SES so the tool and the database never disagree.

There is no webhook endpoint to host, no rate limit to babysit, and no nightly export that leaves your services reading yesterday's activity.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write bounced and complained addresses from the SES Suppression List back onto CRM and marketing records so other tools stop emailing them.
  • 02 Keep Email Templates in sync from a CMS or Git-backed source into SES via CreateEmailTemplate and UpdateEmailTemplate across environments.
  • 03 Replace one-off Cloud Functions export code with managed, continuous sync.
  • 04 Sync Firestore user and account documents into a CRM so go-to-market teams see live product data.

Common sync patterns

Trigger outbound communication from the database

Write a row to a synced table in Firebase and Stacksync propagates it into Amazon SES, so your code sends the message, places the call, or schedules the meeting without integration glue.

One contact list across both

Recipients and contacts stay consistent between Amazon SES and Firebase, so a phone number or email corrected on either side is current the next time either system uses it.

React to activity as it happens

Sends, replies, answered calls, or completed meetings arrive in Firebase as row changes, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Amazon SES and Firebase

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 Firebase objects How this pairing syncs
Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) Outbound email is produced via SendEmail and SendBulkEmail, accepting raw MIME or a template plus destination list. Send-only; there is no message store to read back. Firestore Collections Top-level groupings of documents that a sync maps to tables or SaaS objects. Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) is specific to Amazon SES and Firestore Collections to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Subscribers in the contact list with per-topic opt-in state; CRUD via CreateContact/ListContacts/UpdateContact/DeleteContact, each carrying a LastUpdatedTimestamp for polling. Firestore Documents Schemaless JSON-like records, the primary unit synced to and from external systems. Contacts is specific to Amazon SES and Firestore Documents to Firebase — 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. Subcollections Nested collections under documents, typically flattened into related tables during sync. Contact Lists is specific to Amazon SES and Subcollections to Firebase — 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. Realtime Database Nodes JSON tree paths in the older Realtime Database, synced by path. Email Templates is specific to Amazon SES and Realtime Database Nodes to Firebase — 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. Authentication Users User accounts read into CRMs and warehouses for customer records. Suppression List is specific to Amazon SES and Authentication Users to Firebase — 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). Cloud Storage Objects Files referenced from documents; usually synced as metadata plus URLs. Verified Identities is specific to Amazon SES and Cloud Storage Objects to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and Firebase

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 Firebase 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 written to Firebase through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Firebase Amazon SES Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Firebase for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Real-time snapshot listeners on Firestore queries and Cloud Functions triggers on document changes.

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.
  • Firebase: Subject to Firestore's documented operation quotas and per-document write throughput limits.

How the Amazon SES and Firebase 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
