Sending AWS SES Email Attachments Is Way Easer Now


Sending AWS SES Email Attachments Is Way Easer Now

Are you sick of jumping through hoops to send attachments or include inline images via AWS SES?

Before the process for customizing MIME messages was clunky and cumbersome but now AWS SES has hidden that all behind the scenes and made attaching files much simpler.

Years ago I wrote an SES email integration for a project management tool designed for maximum compatibility with dinosaurs that didn’t want to log into the app and just wanted to communicate via email. They would get an email about a project task and all they would have to do was email back. Their response would become a comment on the project task.

We spent a long time building a work around for files that needed to get passed back and forth via the same email system. This feature probably would have saved us a ton of time. ** Questions:** Are you using SES? If so, what for? Are you sending attachments?
