Why teams connect Amazon SES and SugarCRM

Keep SugarCRM 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.

SugarCRM 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 Calls and Meetings, Tasks, Campaigns, Custom modules in SugarCRM with Contact Lists, Email Templates, Suppression List, Verified Identities 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 SugarCRM. You decide which system owns which fields, and conflicts resolve by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep contacts and leads aligned with marketing automation for consistent segmentation
  • 02 Consolidate data from an on-premise Sugar deployment into a cloud warehouse for reporting
  • 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 SugarCRM, 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 SugarCRM 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 SugarCRM

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 SugarCRM 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 People linked to accounts, synced with marketing and support systems. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
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. Calls and Meetings Activity records used for engagement reporting. Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) is specific to Amazon SES and Calls and Meetings to SugarCRM — 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. Tasks Follow-ups attached to records across modules. Contact Lists is specific to Amazon SES and Tasks to SugarCRM — 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. Campaigns Marketing efforts tied back to leads and opportunities. Email Templates is specific to Amazon SES and Campaigns to SugarCRM — 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 modules Modules built with Module Builder get the same REST endpoints as stock ones. Suppression List is specific to Amazon SES and Custom modules to SugarCRM — 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). Accounts Company records, the usual join key against ERP customer masters. Verified Identities is specific to Amazon SES and Accounts to SugarCRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and SugarCRM

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 SugarCRM 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 SugarCRM 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.
  • SugarCRM: Limits depend on the hosting model; on-premise instances are constrained by server capacity rather than fixed quotas.

AWS IAM credentials (access key + secret) signed with Signature Version 4, or an assumed IAM role via STS; the SMTP interface uses SMTP credentials derived from an IAM user
Change detection
Message events (delivery, bounce, complaint, open, click) are pushed in near real time through configuration-set event destinations (SNS/EventBridge/Firehose); contacts, templates, and suppression entries are polled via List/Get operations
