Amazon SES InvalidNotificationType error encountered when using Amazon SES.

The notification type specified in the request is not supported by Amazon SES.

Understanding Amazon SES

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a cloud-based email sending service designed to help businesses send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. It is a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective solution for sending emails from applications hosted on platforms like AWS.

Identifying the Symptom

When integrating Amazon SES into your application, you might encounter the error message: InvalidNotificationType. This error typically occurs when there is an issue with the notification type specified in your request.

Exploring the Issue

What is InvalidNotificationType?

The InvalidNotificationType error indicates that the notification type you have specified is not recognized by Amazon SES. Amazon SES supports specific notification types such as bounce, complaint, and delivery.

Common Causes

This error often arises from typographical errors in the notification type or using a notification type that is not supported by Amazon SES.

Steps to Resolve the Issue

Verify Notification Type

Ensure that the notification type specified in your request is one of the supported types. The valid notification types are:

  • bounce
  • complaint
  • delivery

Check your code or configuration to confirm that the notification type is correctly specified.

Update Your Code

If you find that the notification type is incorrect, update your code to use a valid notification type. For example, if you mistakenly used delivry instead of delivery, correct the typo.

Testing the Fix

After making the necessary changes, test your application to ensure that the error is resolved. You can use the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI to verify the changes.
