I can’t send an attachment with Amazon SES. There was a thread from almost 3 years ago requesting this. Will this be implemented?

Hi @Barnabas Welcome!
the AWS SES node in n8n does not currently list attachment support, although it supports sending email and templates around. Why dont you try using the SMTP node which is built it and works all the time.
@Anshul_Namdev Thanks for the suggestion. My problem is that I have a hard time connecting SES to SMTP.
When I create SMTP credentials, Amazon gives me Access Key and Secret Key. I suppose these are what n8n calls user and password.
Then I have the host part, which I believe for me is email-smtp.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com
For port I’ve left it as 465.
It always fails to connect.

@Barnabas Understood. Consider using your SMTP username and password instead of Access Key/Secret Key, like configure it somewhat like:
Host: email-smtp.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com
Port: 465 (SSL) or 587 (STARTTLS)
SSL/TLS: Turn ON for port 465, OFF for port 587
User/Password: Your SES-specific SMTP credentials
Like this is the supposedly thing it can differ in your case.

Thank you @Anshul_Namdev,
I created new SMTP crendentials and I was given SMTP user name and SMTP password.
I connected via port 465 with TLS ON.
Everything works perfectly now. Thanks for the assistance
