Why teams connect Amazon SES and Freshsales

Keep Freshsales and Amazon SES working from the same contacts, and log every call, message, and meeting back on the record, in real time and in both directions.

Freshsales holds the people the business talks to: the contacts, their phone numbers and email addresses, and which rep owns the relationship. Amazon SES is where the talking happens, whether that is calls, texts, email, or meetings. The two depend on the same people, and when the contact list in one drifts from the other, outreach goes to stale numbers and the record of what was said never makes it back to the account.

Stacksync syncs Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Tasks in Freshsales with Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail), Contacts, Contact Lists, Email Templates in Amazon SES field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Current contact details flow out to Amazon SES so it can reach the right person, and the calls, messages, and meetings Amazon SES produces flow back onto the matching record in Freshsales. You decide which system owns which fields, and conflicts resolve by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Freshsales accounts aligned with a billing system so plan and revenue fields stay current.
  • 02 Sync sales activities and appointments into analytics tools for rep productivity reporting.
  • 03 Keep Email Templates in sync from a CMS or Git-backed source into SES via CreateEmailTemplate and UpdateEmailTemplate across environments.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Calls, messages, and meetings on the record

Activity handled in Amazon SES appears on the matching contact and account in Freshsales, so the next person sees the full history without leaving the CRM.

Where Amazon SES sends at scale: delivery and reply status back on the contact

Sends, bounces, opens, and replies from Amazon SES update fields on the contact in Freshsales, so lead status reflects what actually reached the person.

One contact list, opt-outs included

A number, address, or unsubscribe recorded in either system updates the other, so no one calls a disconnected line or messages someone who opted out.

What you can sync between Amazon SES and Freshsales

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 Freshsales 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. Contacts Person records carrying lifecycle stages; the main entity for two-way CRM syncs. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Suppression List Addresses auto-added on bounce or complaint; read with ListSuppressedDestinations and written with Put/DeleteSuppressedDestination to control re-sends. Sales activities Configurable activity types logged against records, useful for engagement scoring. Suppression List is specific to Amazon SES and Sales activities to Freshsales — 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). Products Catalog items attached to deals for line-level revenue data. Verified Identities is specific to Amazon SES and Products to Freshsales — 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. Accounts Company records kept aligned with billing, ERP, and warehouse tables. Configuration Sets is specific to Amazon SES and Accounts to Freshsales — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sending Events Per-message send, delivery, bounce, complaint, open, and click events; not on any API, read from a configuration-set event destination (SNS/EventBridge/Firehose). Deals Pipeline records synced to a warehouse for revenue reporting. Sending Events is specific to Amazon SES and Deals to Freshsales — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Tasks Rep to-dos created from external triggers or synced for productivity reporting. Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) is specific to Amazon SES and Tasks to Freshsales — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and Freshsales

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 Freshsales 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 Freshsales 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.
  • Freshsales: Subject to per-account API rate limits that vary by Freshworks plan.
