Why teams connect Amazon SES and Supabase

Turn the messages, calls, and events Amazon SES handles into live rows in Supabase, and write back to trigger new outbound communication, with both sides in sync in seconds.

Engineers reach communications tools like Amazon SES through APIs, which means auth tokens, webhooks, delivery callbacks, and rate limits, all maintained forever and all shaped differently for every tool. The data those tools produce, who was contacted, what was sent, and what came back, would be simple to use if it lived in Supabase next to everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Suppression List, Verified Identities, Configuration Sets, Sending Events from Amazon SES into Tables, Views, Schemas, auth.users in Supabase and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Communication activity lands in the database as ordinary rows you can query and join, and rows your code writes, such as a queued outbound message or an updated contact, flow back into Amazon SES so the tool and the database never disagree.

There is no webhook endpoint to host, no rate limit to babysit, and no nightly export that leaves your services reading yesterday's activity.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Email Templates in sync from a CMS or Git-backed source into SES via CreateEmailTemplate and UpdateEmailTemplate across environments.
  • 02 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.
  • 03 Reflect auth.users state into support and CRM systems so teams see account status without querying the database
  • 04 Push product events captured in Supabase Postgres to marketing tools for lifecycle campaigns

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern for every channel

Each communications tool looks like tables in the database, so adding email, voice, or messaging is configuration rather than a new codebase.

Communication history as database rows

Every message, call, or event Amazon SES records becomes rows in Supabase, ready to query, join with your own data, and report on without touching the vendor API.

Trigger outbound communication from the database

Write a row to a synced table in Supabase and Stacksync propagates it into Amazon SES, so your code sends the message, places the call, or schedules the meeting without integration glue.

What you can sync between Amazon SES and Supabase

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 Supabase objects How this pairing syncs
Contact Lists One list per AWS account, subdivided into Topics that group subscriptions; read and write via CreateContactList and GetContactList. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Contact Lists is specific to Amazon SES and Views to Supabase — 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. Schemas Namespaces (public and custom) that scope sync access. Email Templates is specific to Amazon SES and Schemas to Supabase — 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. auth.users Managed authentication users, often mirrored into CRM or support systems. Suppression List is specific to Amazon SES and auth.users to Supabase — 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). Row Level Security Policies Row-level access rules that govern what the REST layer exposes. Verified Identities is specific to Amazon SES and Row Level Security Policies to Supabase — 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. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads such as event properties or nested objects. Configuration Sets is specific to Amazon SES and JSONB Columns to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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). Database Functions Postgres functions that can transform or validate synced rows. Sending Events is specific to Amazon SES and Database Functions to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and Supabase

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 Supabase 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 applied to Supabase as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Supabase Amazon SES Sub-second propagation

DetectionSupabase pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Log-based CDC via Postgres logical replication, the same WAL feed that powers Supabase Realtime.

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.
  • Supabase: SQL access is bounded by connection limits (pooled connections are provided); the REST layer is subject to the platform's limits.
