A serverless plugin that allows automatically creating, updating and removing AWS SES Templates using a configuration file and keeps your AWS SES Templates synced with your configuration file.

🚨 Important Notice: Starting from 6.x version, plugin has transitioned to pure ESM and requires serverless v3.2.0 or newer.

If you need for CJS package use 5.x plugin series

Template configuration file

Template configuration file should be an async function that returns array of objects (all keys are required):

/**
 * @param {Object} serverless - Serverless instance
 * @param {Object} options - runtime options
 * @returns {Promise<{name: string, subject: string, html: string, text}[]>}
 */
const templateConfiguration = async (serverless, options) => [{
    name: 'example_name',
    subject: 'Your subject',
    html: '<h1>Hello world!</h1>',
    text: 'Hello world!',
}];

export default templateConfiguration

Real world example see here.

Plugin resolves region in the following order:

• CLI argument named sesTemplatesRegion - top priority
• serverless.yml plugin configuration param named region
• CLI argument named region
• fallback to default region resolving (first region in first stage defined in serverless.yml)

Plugin resolves template configuration file path in the following order:

• CLI argument named sesTemplateConfig - top priority
• serverless.yml plugin configuration param named configFile
• fallback to default ./ses-email-templates/index.js
