How to connect Amazon SES to Datadog

What you'll need

  • An active Amazon SES account with permission to install apps
  • An active Datadog account with repository access
  • A free Arahi AI account (sign up takes 30 seconds)

  1. Create your Arahi AI account

    Sign up at app.arahi.ai — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial.

  2. Authenticate Amazon SES

    Grant Arahi permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.

  3. Authenticate Datadog

    Grant Arahi access to your repositories, issues, and project data. You control which repos and projects the integration can access.

  4. Choose your trigger

    Select the event that starts your workflow. Popular triggers include: new message received in amazon ses or new commit pushed in datadog.

  5. Configure the action

    Define what happens when the trigger fires — for example, create issue in datadog. Map the data fields between Amazon SES and Datadog.

  6. Test and activate

    Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Amazon SES and Datadog, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 with automatic retries and error monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Amazon SES to Datadog?
Sign up for a free Arahi AI account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Amazon SES and Datadog via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing communication events to developer tools actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Amazon SES and Datadog?

Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the Amazon SES and Datadog integration free?
Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your Amazon SES-to-Datadog workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Amazon SES data secure when connected to Datadog?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Amazon SES or Datadog passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your communication data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Amazon SES and Datadog?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Amazon SES or Datadog. For example, create a workflow where Amazon SES events update Datadog, and a separate one where Datadog changes sync back to Amazon SES. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Amazon SES and Datadog?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Amazon SES and Datadog, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
