Why teams connect Amazon SES and Nimble

Keep Nimble 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.

Nimble 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 Custom fields, Contacts, Companies, Deals in Nimble 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 Nimble. You decide which system owns which fields, and conflicts resolve by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed Nimble activity and task data into reporting dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Sync Nimble contacts and companies into Postgres so ops teams can query socially enriched profile data with SQL.
  • 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

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 Nimble, 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.

New contacts reachable right away

A contact created or updated in Nimble appears in Amazon SES within seconds, so outreach starts without exporting a list or re-keying numbers.

What you can sync between Amazon SES and Nimble

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 Nimble 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 with multi-value fields for email, phone, and social profiles; the primary sync entity Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Contact Lists One list per AWS account, subdivided into Topics that group subscriptions; read and write via CreateContactList and GetContactList. Notes Free-text records attached to contacts, replicated for a complete account timeline Contact Lists is specific to Amazon SES and Notes to Nimble — 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. Tags Segmentation labels that map to list membership or filters in downstream systems Email Templates is specific to Amazon SES and Tags to Nimble — 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. Custom fields Account-defined contact attributes that carry enrichment or internal identifiers Suppression List is specific to Amazon SES and Custom fields to Nimble — 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). Companies Stored as contact records with a company record type, so they sync through the same contacts resource Verified Identities is specific to Amazon SES and Companies to Nimble — 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. Deals Pipeline records linked to contacts, synced to keep revenue systems aligned with sales activity Configuration Sets is specific to Amazon SES and Deals to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and Nimble

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

Nimble Amazon SES Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Nimble for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record modification timestamps.

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.
  • Nimble: Subject to per-account API request quotas.
