Why teams connect Amazon SES and Seismic

Keep Seismic 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.

Seismic 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 LiveSend Links, Digital Sales Rooms, Reporting Activities, Library Content in Seismic with Sending Events, Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail), Contacts, Contact Lists 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 Seismic. You decide which system owns which fields, and conflicts resolve by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Library Content metadata and Custom Property Schemas with a DAM or PIM so one taxonomy governs assets across systems.
  • 02 React to ContentManager and DSR webhook events to update a database when documents are published, versioned, or expired.
  • 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

Calls, messages, and meetings on the record

Activity handled in Amazon SES appears on the matching contact and account in Seismic, 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 Seismic, 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.

What you can sync between Amazon SES and Seismic

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 Seismic objects How this pairing syncs
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). User Groups Group definitions and membership that govern content access; synced from an IdP or HRIS to keep permissions current. Sending Events is specific to Amazon SES and User Groups to Seismic — 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. Teamsites Tenant-scoped workspace partitions organizing Library content, permissions, and config; scoped by teamSiteId on most content calls. Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) is specific to Amazon SES and Teamsites to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Subscribers in the contact list with per-topic opt-in state; CRUD via CreateContact/ListContacts/UpdateContact/DeleteContact, each carrying a LastUpdatedTimestamp for polling. LiveSend Links Trackable content-share links created via the engagement API; their open and view engagement is read back through Reporting. Contacts is specific to Amazon SES and LiveSend Links to Seismic — 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. Digital Sales Rooms Buyer-facing microsites (DSRs); lifecycle and content-change events surface via webhooks, currently marked Early Access. Contact Lists is specific to Amazon SES and Digital Sales Rooms to Seismic — 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. Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. Email Templates is specific to Amazon SES and Reporting Activities to Seismic — 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. Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. Suppression List is specific to Amazon SES and Library Content to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and Seismic

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

Seismic Amazon SES Sub-second propagation

DetectionSeismic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for content, version, user, group, workflow, DSR, and LiveSend events.

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.
  • Seismic: Tiered per-endpoint limits over a rolling 60-second window; exceeding returns HTTP 429, with X-Seismic-Remaining-Calls and X-Seismic-Total-Calls headers.
