Why teams connect Amazon SES and Google Cloud Platform

Land the messages, calls, and events from Amazon SES in Google Cloud Platform 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 Email Templates, Suppression List, Verified Identities, Configuration Sets from Amazon SES into tables in Google Cloud Platform in real time, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the connection works in both directions, results computed in Google Cloud Platform — 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 Keep Email Templates in sync from a CMS or Git-backed source into SES via CreateEmailTemplate and UpdateEmailTemplate across environments.
  • 02 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.
  • 03 Publish change events to Pub/Sub so downstream services react to record updates as they happen.

Common sync patterns

Engagement and delivery on live data

Sends, opens, clicks, bounces, and call outcomes from Amazon SES land in Google Cloud Platform as they happen, so deliverability and response monitoring stop lagging the reality they describe.

Activity joined with everything else

Combine Amazon SES's activity with the CRM, product, and support data already in Google Cloud Platform to attribute outcomes to the touches that drove them, which no single tool can do alone.

Where Amazon SES accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, contact fields, or suppression flags computed in Google Cloud Platform sync back onto records in Amazon SES, putting warehouse analysis where the outreach happens.

What you can sync between Amazon SES and Google Cloud Platform

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 Google Cloud Platform 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. Pub/Sub topics Event streams used to move change events between systems in near real time. Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) is specific to Amazon SES and Pub/Sub topics to Google Cloud Platform — 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 Document data read and written through the Firestore API for app-facing syncs. Contacts is specific to Amazon SES and Firestore documents to Google Cloud Platform — 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. Spanner tables Strongly consistent relational tables accessed via SQL for transactional workloads. Contact Lists is specific to Amazon SES and Spanner tables to Google Cloud Platform — 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. BigQuery datasets Namespaces that group tables; syncs target tables within a dataset. Email Templates is specific to Amazon SES and BigQuery datasets to Google Cloud Platform — 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. BigQuery tables The primary analytics destination, written through load jobs or the Storage Write API and queried with SQL. Suppression List is specific to Amazon SES and BigQuery tables to Google Cloud Platform — 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 SQL databases Managed Postgres, MySQL, and SQL Server instances synced like ordinary relational databases. Verified Identities is specific to Amazon SES and Cloud SQL databases to Google Cloud Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and Google Cloud Platform

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 Google Cloud Platform 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 Google Cloud Platform as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Google Cloud Platform Amazon SES Sub-second propagation

DetectionGoogle Cloud Platform pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Varies by service: log-based CDC on Cloud SQL (logical replication or binlog, also via Datastream), Pub/Sub for event delivery, polling for BigQuery.

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.
  • Google Cloud Platform: Quotas are set per service and per project; BigQuery, Pub/Sub, and Cloud SQL each enforce their own limits.
