Why teams connect Amazon SES and Nutshell

Keep Nutshell 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.

Nutshell 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 Products, Tags, Users, Leads in Nutshell with Email Templates, Suppression List, Verified Identities, Configuration Sets 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 Nutshell. You decide which system owns which fields, and conflicts resolve by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write subscription or product data from internal systems into Nutshell so reps see account context.
  • 02 Mirror tasks and activities into ops tools for cross-team visibility.
  • 03 Push warehouse or CRM audience segments into SES as Contacts using CreateContact or a bulk CreateImportJob (up to 1M contacts per job) to feed marketing sends.
  • 04 Stream SES sending events (delivery, bounce, complaint, open, click) from a configuration-set event destination into a warehouse for deliverability reporting.

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 Nutshell, 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 Nutshell 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 Nutshell

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and Nutshell

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

Nutshell Amazon SES Sub-second propagation

DetectionNutshell notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling as fallback.

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.
  • Nutshell: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
