Amazon SES InvalidRenderingParameter error encountered when sending an email using Amazon SES.

The rendering parameter for the email template is invalid.

Understanding Amazon SES

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. It is a reliable, cost-effective service for businesses of all sizes that require a scalable email solution.

Identifying the Symptom

When using Amazon SES, you might encounter the InvalidRenderingParameter error. This error typically occurs when there is an issue with the parameters used in your email template, preventing the email from being sent successfully.

Common Error Message

The error message you might see is: InvalidRenderingParameter: The rendering parameter for the email template is invalid.

Exploring the Issue

The InvalidRenderingParameter error indicates that one or more parameters used in your email template do not match the expected format or are missing. This can happen if the template placeholders are not correctly defined or if the data passed to these placeholders is incorrect.

Template Parameter Mismatch

Ensure that the parameters in your email template are correctly defined and match the data you are passing. For example, if your template expects a parameter named {{name}}, ensure that you are passing a value for name when sending the email.

Steps to Resolve the Issue

To resolve the InvalidRenderingParameter error, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify Template Parameters

  1. Log in to the Amazon SES Console.
  2. Navigate to the Email Templates section.
  3. Review the template you are using and ensure all placeholders are correctly defined.

Step 2: Check Data Passed to Template

  1. Ensure that the data you are passing to the template matches the expected parameters.
  2. For example, if your template uses {{name}}, make sure you are passing a name value in your API call.

Step 3: Test with Sample Data

  1. Create a test email with sample data to ensure that all parameters are correctly rendered.
  2. Use the SendTemplatedEmail API to test your template with sample data.
