Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a person with no experience with AWS terminology or technology, it is hard to follow this https://dev.chaskiq.io/production-configuration/email-configuration

Describe the solution you'd like
I will like a more detailed step-by-step guide or, even better, a set of CLI commands to run to set everything

Some examples:

  • in doc you have SES_USER_NAME: ses user name but once I generate the credentials I have either IAM username and smtp username
  • in doc you have SES_ADDRESS: email address from amazon ses service which email address? is the same one as used in other ENVs?
  • which permissions needs the IAM user for chaskiq?

I am pretty sure this is obvious to someone already familiar with AWS, but can be confusing for people used to different terminology

Hi, you only need the AWS credentials to use SES, the SES_USER_NAME and SES_ADDRESS are not needed.
I will try to document that article with a more detailed explanation!

The AWS user needs to have allowed permissions to SES, SNS and S3.

Hi @michelson I am still have some issues understanding https://dev.chaskiq.io/production-configuration/email-configuration

  • is sns-bounces-sns-topic explained in other doc? It seems to be used before it gets defined
  • In the sections Create SNS topics
    • How many topics do I need to create?
    • Where is https://YOURDOMAIN/api/v1/hooks used?
  • in Attach your SNS to SES configuration set
    • Which topics should be attached to SES?
