Proposed workflow

Message or conversation reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting eventA change involving Amazon SES Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) or the proposed message or conversation table in Google Cloud Platform needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Amazon SES Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) and the proposed message or conversation table in Google Cloud Platform. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.

  2. Resolve conversation, participant, and customer context before associating messages.

  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

What to verifyTest a delivery-state change, repeated message, private conversation, and reply linked to the correct thread.

Compare integration approaches

Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) / Proposed message or conversation table in Google Cloud Platform (choose its name) to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.

Stacksync managed sync

Best fit
Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
Operating responsibility
Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
Before you choose
Check record matching: Retain message ID, conversation/thread ID, channel, and sender identity. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.

Native vendor integration

Best fit
A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Amazon SES and Google Cloud Platform record types.
Operating responsibility
Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
Before you choose
First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) / Proposed message or conversation table in Google Cloud Platform (choose its name), update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit
Consider when Amazon SES and Google Cloud Platform need a transformation, approval, or action outside a direct record sync.
Operating responsibility
Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
Before you choose
Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery. Separate reading history from actions that send messages, grant access, or post transactions.

File or scheduled snapshot

Best fit
Consider for a one-time Amazon SES / Google Cloud Platform migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
Operating responsibility
Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
Before you choose
Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.

Workflow scenarios and expected results

Message or conversation reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) or Proposed message or conversation table in Google Cloud Platform (choose its name) record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Amazon SES Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) and Google Cloud Platform Proposed message or conversation table in Google Cloud Platform (choose its name). Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve conversation, participant, and customer context before associating messages.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test a delivery-state change, repeated message, private conversation, and reply linked to the correct thread.

If it fails: Check provider delivery state before retrying a send; replaying history must not send the message again.

Contact reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Contacts or Proposed contact table in Google Cloud Platform (choose its name) record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Amazon SES Contacts and Google Cloud Platform Proposed contact table in Google Cloud Platform (choose its name). Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve the organization relationship and any owner or consent references required by the destination.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test an email change, two records sharing an email, and a person associated with multiple organizations.

If it fails: Hold ambiguous matches for review and reconcile the person ID before retrying; preserve the consent decision already recorded by its owner.

Event or activity reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Sending Events or Proposed event or activity table in Google Cloud Platform (choose its name) record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Amazon SES Sending Events and Google Cloud Platform Proposed event or activity table in Google Cloud Platform (choose its name). Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve the related customer, user, or transaction identity without assuming the event ID is the entity ID.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Deliver the same event twice, then an older event after a newer one; verify duplicate and ordering behavior.

If it fails: Identify side effects already completed before replaying an event; use the agreed deduplication key.

Link communication history with Google Cloud Platform context

This is an evaluation scenario; connector and operation support require confirmation.

Starting event: A communication in Amazon SES needs an association with Firestore documents in Google Cloud Platform.

  1. Select the communication records from Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) or Contacts and preserve message/call and thread IDs.
  2. Resolve the participant-to-business-record relationship explicitly; phone number or display name alone may be ambiguous.
  3. Keep history replication separate from sending a message, placing a call, or changing consent. Confirm a separate authorized operation for any action.

Expected result: Repeated delivery updates the same history record; a private conversation stays private; a history replay sends no new message.

If it fails: Check source delivery state and the destination relationship before retrying. Do not resend to repair an analytical or history discrepancy.

Initial load and acceptance testing

Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.

Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) / Proposed message or conversation table in Google Cloud Platform (choose its name)

Test case

Test a delivery-state change, repeated message, private conversation, and reply linked to the correct thread.

Expected result

The expected message or conversation relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Contacts / Proposed contact table in Google Cloud Platform (choose its name)

Test case

Test an email change, two records sharing an email, and a person associated with multiple organizations.

Expected result

The expected contact relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Sending Events / Proposed event or activity table in Google Cloud Platform (choose its name)

Test case

Deliver the same event twice, then an older event after a newer one; verify duplicate and ordering behavior.

Expected result

The expected event or activity relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Direction and permissions

Test case

Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.

Expected result

Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.

Freshness and reconciliation

Test case

Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.

Expected result

The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.

Failed updates, retries and recovery

Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.

Rejected or repeated message or conversation change

Investigate

Inspect Amazon SES Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) and Google Cloud Platform Proposed message or conversation table in Google Cloud Platform (choose its name), their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Check provider delivery state before retrying a send; replaying history must not send the message again.

Rejected or repeated contact change

Investigate

Inspect Amazon SES Contacts and Google Cloud Platform Proposed contact table in Google Cloud Platform (choose its name), their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Hold ambiguous matches for review and reconcile the person ID before retrying; preserve the consent decision already recorded by its owner.

Rejected or repeated event or activity change

Investigate

Inspect Amazon SES Sending Events and Google Cloud Platform Proposed event or activity table in Google Cloud Platform (choose its name), their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Identify side effects already completed before replaying an event; use the agreed deduplication key.

A record type or update is unavailable

Investigate

Check the Amazon SES and Google Cloud Platform connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.

Next action

Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.

Source and destination disagree after a retry

Investigate

Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.

Next action

Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.

Read the Stacksync issues dashboard guide for retry and revert behavior.
