Teams building with Stacksync

Plan the connection your business needs

Explore a Amazon SES and Microsoft Graph integration with a Stacksync engineer. Stacksync support for Amazon SES and Microsoft Graph is not established by the connector documentation reviewed for this page. Start with one record and the update your business needs to identify an implementation path.

01 / Business process

Start with one meaningful update

Identify the record that changes in Amazon SES or Microsoft Graph, where it needs to appear, and which team depends on it.

02 / Data access

Establish the available connection

Bring the objects, account editions, and required directions. An engineer can review the connector path, permissions, and field access.

03 / Success criteria

Define a result you can verify

Agree on record matching, acceptable delay, expected volume, and how your team will resolve failed updates.

Technical referenceAvailable documentation, candidate record relationships, and questions for your technical review.

Prepare your technical review

Use the worksheets and reference checks to capture record identity, ownership, and the result your business expects.

Implementation reference

Record identity and field ownership

Use these data-model references to describe the records your connection needs. They are planning examples; connector availability and supported operations must be established before implementation.

Record matchingMessages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) Mail messages (Outlook)

Compare whether Amazon SES Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) and Microsoft Graph Mail messages (Outlook) describe the same message or conversation in your business.

Amazon SES
Object support to establish
Microsoft Graph
Object support to establish

Record identity

Retain message ID, conversation/thread ID, channel, and sender identity.

Field ownership

Separate message history from actions that send new messages; preserve private/public visibility and channel consent.

Fields to include

  • Source message ID
  • Thread reference
  • Delivery state
  • Timestamp
  • Related record ID
Record matchingContacts Contacts

Compare whether Amazon SES Contacts and Microsoft Graph Contacts describe the same contact in your business.

Amazon SES

Microsoft Graph
Object support to establish

Record identity

Use a stable person/contact ID and an explicit cross-system lookup. Email can change and can be shared, so treat it as a matching clue rather than a universal key.

Field ownership

Keep consent and communication preferences under an agreed authority; a general contact update must not silently resubscribe someone.

Fields to include

  • Source person ID
  • Display name
  • Email address
  • Organization reference
  • Consent state

Architecture decision

Choose how to connect your systems

Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) / Mail messages (Outlook) 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 Microsoft Graph 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) / Mail messages (Outlook), update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit
Consider when Amazon SES and Microsoft Graph 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 / Microsoft Graph 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 reference

From a business event to the right update

Open a workflow to see its trigger, record relationships, and expected result.

Message or conversation sync test

Starting event: A change to the selected Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) or Mail messages (Outlook) record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Amazon SES Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) and Microsoft Graph Mail messages (Outlook). 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 sync test

Starting event: A change to the selected Contacts or Contacts record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Amazon SES Contacts and Microsoft Graph Contacts. 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.

Link communication history with Microsoft Graph context

Starting event: A communication in Amazon SES needs an association with Users or Groups and memberships in Microsoft Graph.

  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.

Production readiness

Test the behavior your business depends on

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

Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) / Mail messages (Outlook)

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 / Contacts

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.

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.

Failure recovery

Find the cause. Restore the data flow.

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 Microsoft Graph Mail messages (Outlook), 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 Microsoft Graph Contacts, 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.

A record type or update is unavailable

Investigate

Check the Amazon SES and Microsoft Graph 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.

Update timing and record limits

  • Measure initial-load and ongoing-change latency separately. Source detection, selected objects, account limits, and destination validation determine the observed delay.
  • Review write-back, deletion handling, update timing, and account limits with the integration team.
  • Review write-back, deletion handling, update timing, and account limits with the integration team.

Prepare Amazon SES and Microsoft Graph access

Set up both accounts before testing the mapping. Use test records where available, and identify the account administrator who can approve access and help resolve setup errors.

Amazon SES setup checklist

  • Identify the Amazon SES account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access.
  • Confirm a Stacksync connector or implementation path for Amazon SES, including read/write support, authentication, and initial-load limits.

Microsoft Graph setup checklist

  • Identify the Microsoft Graph account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access.
  • Confirm a Stacksync connector or implementation path for Microsoft Graph, including read/write support, authentication, and initial-load limits.

Prepare to go live

Record the fields each system can update, the first-load cutoff, both record IDs, the expected update delay, and who handles errors. Complete the tests before production before expanding to more records.

Use the Amazon SES and Microsoft Graph planning worksheet to capture these decisions. Record the access owner in the worksheet and enter credentials only in the connection setup.
