SES Email Templates Manager

This project provides a simple application written in Go that manages email templates on AWS Simple Email Service (SES). The application watches local template files and a configuration file for changes, and updates the corresponding templates on AWS SES.

Features

• Watches local email template files for changes and automatically updates the corresponding templates on AWS SES.
• If a template does not exist on AWS SES, the application creates it.
• Also watches the configuration file for changes and updates the watched template files accordingly.
• Only updates templates on AWS SES if the template's subject, text, or HTML part has changed.

Requirements

• AWS account with access to SES.
• Appropriate AWS credentials.
• Go 1.19.
• Dependencies: AWS SDK for Go, Watcher.
• Sentry for error logging (should be simple to disable).

Usage

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Mihonarium/SES_Template_Manager.git

2. Install the dependencies:

go get ./...

3. Set up your configuration file (by default /home/ubuntu/ses_config.json) with your AWS credentials, the AWS region, and the list of templates to watch. See the provided ses_config.example.json for an example.
4. Run the application:

go run main.go

or build it and run the executable:

go build -o ses_emails main.go
./ses_emails

The application will now start watching the template files specified in your configuration file, and will update the corresponding templates on AWS SES whenever a file changes.

You can also specify the path to the configuration file as a command line argument:

Usage of ./ses_emails:
  -config string
        Full path to the config file (default "/home/ubuntu/ses_config.json")
