How to automate AWS SES E-mail Template Update

Amazon Web Service Simple Email Service ( SES ) is a popular and considerably cheap service to send out bulk transactional & personalized promotional emails. However, when it comes to the Template-based emails which help to bind values and send HTML email, the most frustrating part is updating the template and testing them.

Problems:

1. Creating a valid JSON file by escaping the HTML Email Text property
2. Updating the templated HTML file ( manual command-line task )
3. Testing the templated emails

Solution:


I've come up with a normal update script written in Nodejs language with the help of AWS SDK that can help in scaling email template updates faster.


Usage:

> node template-creater.js emailtemplate.html emailtemplate.json false emailtemplate-unique-name "Subject for the email"

This will automatically accept the templated HTML file and creates a valid JSON file and tries updating/creating templates in the AWS SES console based on configuration or command-line argument values.

 1st Argument => Templated HTML File
 2nd Argument => Name of the auto-generated template json file
 3rd Argument => Update or Create template ( boolean )
 4th Argument => Unique template name
 5th Argument => Subject of the email

Final Words:


Feel free to use the script ( No license Restrictions for personal/commercial projects and No Warranty from Author ) and for bugs/hugs do comment below. Share is care.
