# Amazon SES Integration

> Connect your Amazon SES account to SendPost for unified email management, advanced analytics, and enhanced deliverability monitoring.

SendPost's Amazon SES integration allows you to use your existing Amazon SES account as a **Third-Party Sending Provider (TPSP)**. This means you can:

* Send emails through Amazon SES while using SendPost's unified API
* Receive and process Amazon SES events (opens, clicks, bounces, complaints, etc.) in SendPost
* View all email analytics in one centralized dashboard
* Apply SendPost's intelligent routing and throttling to your Amazon SES traffic
* Automatically configure SES identities, configuration sets, and SNS notifications

Additionally, SendPost offers **Amazon SES Compatible APIs (v1 and v2)** that allow you to migrate from Amazon SES with minimal code changes.
