Why teams connect Amazon SES and Yellowbrick

Land the messages, calls, and events from Amazon SES in Yellowbrick as live tables, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Amazon SES produces a constant stream of activity — messages sent and received, calls placed and answered, meetings held, and the delivery and engagement events attached to them. That record is what the rest of the company wants to analyze, and it usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay to get it out.

Stacksync syncs Sending Events, Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail), Contacts, Contact Lists from Amazon SES into tables in Yellowbrick in real time, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the connection works in both directions, results computed in Yellowbrick — segments, contact updates, suppression flags — can be written back into fields in Amazon SES wherever it exposes them, so analysis lands where outreach actually happens.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream SES sending events (delivery, bounce, complaint, open, click) from a configuration-set event destination into a warehouse for deliverability reporting.
  • 02 Write bounced and complained addresses from the SES Suppression List back onto CRM and marketing records so other tools stop emailing them.
  • 03 Sync CRM and marketing data into Yellowbrick tables so it can be joined with large fact tables for enterprise BI.
  • 04 Land ERP transactional extracts in Yellowbrick for finance and supply-chain analytics.

Common sync patterns

Where Amazon SES accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, contact fields, or suppression flags computed in Yellowbrick sync back onto records in Amazon SES, putting warehouse analysis where the outreach happens.

Queryable history that outlives retention

A continuously synced copy in Yellowbrick preserves messages, call logs, and events for reporting and audit even as they age out of Amazon SES or get purged inside it.

Communications analytics without ETL

Messages, calls, and events from Amazon SES arrive in Yellowbrick as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

What you can sync between Amazon SES and Yellowbrick

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 Yellowbrick objects How this pairing syncs
Verified Identities Email-address and domain identities cleared to send; managed via CreateEmailIdentity, ListEmailIdentities, GetEmailIdentity (DKIM and verification status). Databases Top-level containers for schemas and tables. Verified Identities is specific to Amazon SES and Databases to Yellowbrick — 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. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by source or domain. Configuration Sets is specific to Amazon SES and Schemas to Yellowbrick — 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). Tables Columnar MPP tables; the primary targets for warehouse syncs. Sending Events is specific to Amazon SES and Tables to Yellowbrick — 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. Views Logical views used to shape reads for BI and downstream syncs. Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) is specific to Amazon SES and Views to Yellowbrick — 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. Users and Roles Access-control objects that govern what a sync service account can read and write. Contacts is specific to Amazon SES and Users and Roles to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and Yellowbrick

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 Yellowbrick 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 Yellowbrick as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Yellowbrick Amazon SES Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Yellowbrick for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp columns.

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.
  • Yellowbrick: No API rate limits; throughput depends on cluster sizing, and bulk loads should use ybload rather than row-by-row inserts.
