Why teams connect Amazon SES and Insightly

Keep Insightly 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.

Insightly 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 Organizations, Leads, Opportunities, Projects in Insightly with Verified Identities, Configuration Sets, Sending Events, Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) 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 Insightly. You decide which system owns which fields, and conflicts resolve by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync of Insightly contacts and organizations with a marketing automation platform
  • 02 Replicate opportunities into Postgres or a warehouse so RevOps can report on pipeline with SQL
  • 03 Stream SES sending events (delivery, bounce, complaint, open, click) from a configuration-set event destination into a warehouse for deliverability reporting.
  • 04 Write bounced and complained addresses from the SES Suppression List back onto CRM and marketing records so other tools stop emailing them.

Common sync patterns

Where Amazon SES reaches out: contacts kept current

Names, phone numbers, email addresses, and the owning rep from Insightly stay current in Amazon SES, so every call, text, or email goes to the right person at the right address.

Calls, messages, and meetings on the record

Activity handled in Amazon SES appears on the matching contact and account in Insightly, 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 Insightly, so lead status reflects what actually reached the person.

What you can sync between Amazon SES and Insightly

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 Insightly 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 sync with marketing and support tools to keep one contact list. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Configuration Sets Named send-time rule groups that attach event destinations, IP pools, and suppression options; managed via Create/List ConfigurationSet operations. Projects Delivery records created from won opportunities sync with PSA and task tools. Configuration Sets is specific to Amazon SES and Projects to Insightly — 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). Tasks Activity records keep follow-ups consistent across systems. Sending Events is specific to Amazon SES and Tasks to Insightly — 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. Events Calendar items sync for a complete activity timeline. Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) is specific to Amazon SES and Events to Insightly — 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. Notes Free-text context attaches to synced records for downstream visibility. Contact Lists is specific to Amazon SES and Notes to Insightly — 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. Products Product catalog entries support line-item syncing on opportunities and quotes. Email Templates is specific to Amazon SES and Products to Insightly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and Insightly

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 Insightly 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 Insightly through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Insightly Amazon SES Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Insightly for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record updated-date fields.

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.
  • Insightly: Daily API request caps vary by Insightly plan.
