10 CreateEmailIdentity

****** CreateEmailIdentity ****** Starts the process of verifying an email identity. An identity is an email address or domain that you use when you send email. Before you can use an identity to send email, you first have to verify it. By verifying an identity, you demonstrate that you're the owner of the identity, and that you've given Amazon SES API v2 permission to send email from the identity. When you verify an email address, Amazon SES sends an email to the address. Your email address is verified as soon as you follow the link in the verification email. When you verify a domain without specifying the DkimSigningAttributes object, this operation provides a set of DKIM tokens. You can convert these tokens into CNAME records, which you then add to the DNS configuration for your domain. Your domain is verified when Amazon SES detects these records in the DNS configuration for your domain. This verification method is known as Easy_DKIM_. Alternatively, you can perform the verification process by providing your own public-private key pair. This verification method is known as Bring Your Own DKIM (BYODKIM). To use BYODKIM, your call to the CreateEmailIdentity operation has to include the DkimSigningAttributes object. When you specify this object, you provide a selector (a component of the DNS record name that identifies the public key to use for DKIM authentication) and a private key. When you verify a domain, this operation provides a set of DKIM tokens, which you can convert into CNAME tokens. You add these CNAME tokens to the DNS configuration for your domain. Your domain is verified when Amazon SES detects these records in the DNS configuration for your domain. For some DNS providers, it can take 72 hours or more to complete the domain verification process. Additionally, you can associate an existing configuration set with the email identity that you're verifying. ***** Request Syntax *****

***** URI Request Parameters ***** The request does not use any URI parameters. ***** Request Body ***** The request accepts the following data in JSON format. ConfigurationSetName The configuration set to use by default when sending from this identity. Note that any configuration set defined in the email sending request takes precedence. Type: String Required: No DkimSigningAttributes If your request includes this object, Amazon SES configures the identity to use Bring Your Own DKIM (BYODKIM) for DKIM authentication purposes, or, configures the key length to be used for Easy_DKIM_. You can only specify this object if the email identity is a domain, as opposed to an address. Type: DkimSigningAttributes_object Required: No EmailIdentity The email address or domain to verify. Type: String Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Required: Yes Tags An array of objects that define the tags (keys and values) to associate with the email identity. Type: Array of Tag_objects Required: No ***** Response Syntax *****

***** Response Elements ***** If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response. The following data is returned in JSON format by the service. DkimAttributes An object that contains information about the DKIM attributes for the identity. Type: DkimAttributes_object IdentityType The email identity type. Note: the MANAGED_DOMAIN identity type is not supported. Type: String Valid Values: EMAIL_ADDRESS | DOMAIN | MANAGED_DOMAIN VerifiedForSendingStatus Specifies whether or not the identity is verified. You can only send email from verified email addresses or domains. For more information about verifying identities, see the Amazon_Pinpoint_User_Guide_.
