Guidelines for creating and setting up an approved Amazon SES account in Webflow
When setting up an Amazon SES (Simple Email Service) account in Webflow, it is important to follow certain guidelines to ensure that your account gets approved and you can start sending emails without any issues. Here are some helpful guidelines to consider:
Verify your email addresses: Before you can start using Amazon SES to send emails from your Webflow site, you need to verify any email addresses you want to use as the "From" address. This includes the email addresses of your recipients as well. You can verify email addresses through the Amazon SES console.
Configure DNS records: To improve deliverability and ensure that your emails don't end up in spam folders, it is important to properly configure your DNS (Domain Name System) records. Amazon SES provides you with DNS TXT records and CNAME records that you need to add to your DNS hosting provider. These records help authenticate your domain and establish a trusted connection.
Set up SPF and DKIM: Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) are authentication protocols that help verify the authenticity of your emails. Setting up SPF and DKIM can significantly improve the deliverability of your emails. Amazon SES provides you with specific TXT records that need to be added to your DNS provider to set up SPF and DKIM.
Implement DMARC: Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) is another authentication protocol that provides instructions to email receivers on how to handle unauthenticated emails from your domain. Implementing DMARC can help protect your domain from spoofing and phishing attacks. You can set up DMARC policies in your DNS provider.
Maintain a good sending reputation: To ensure that your Amazon SES account remains in good standing and your emails reach their intended recipients, it is important to maintain a good sending reputation. This involves sending only to recipients who have opted in to receive your emails, regularly monitoring bounce and complaint rates, and promptly responding to any feedback or complaints received.
By following these guidelines, you can create and set up an approved Amazon SES account in Webflow, allowing you to send emails reliably and efficiently.
