Golang - Send Emails with AWS SES

To use AWS SES in a golang application, you will need to first install the AWS SDK for golang. You can do this by running the following command:

go get github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go

Once the AWS SDK for golang is installed, you can use the aws.SES package to send emails using AWS SES. Here is an example of how you can do this:

package main

import (
    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws"
    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/credentials"
    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/session"
    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/service/ses"
)

func main() {
    // Create a new AWS session
    sess, err := session.NewSession(&aws.Config{
        Region:      aws.String("us-east-1"),
        Credentials: credentials.NewStaticCredentials("ACCESS_KEY_ID", "SECRET_ACCESS_KEY", ""),
    })
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Create a new instance of the AWS SES service
    svc := ses.New(sess)

    // Set the sender and recipient email addresses
    from := "sender@example.com"
    to := "recipient@example.com"

    // Set the email subject and body
    subject := "Test email from AWS SES"
    body := "This is a test email sent from AWS SES"

    // Send the email
    result, err := svc.SendEmail(&ses.SendEmailInput{
        Destination: &ses.Destination{
            ToAddresses: []*string{
                aws.String(to),
            },
        },
        Message: &ses.Message{
            Body: &ses.Body{
                Text: &ses.Content{
                    Charset: aws.String("UTF-8"),
                    Data:    aws.String(body),
                },
            },
            Subject: &ses.Content{
                Charset: aws.String("UTF-8"),
                Data:    aws.String(subject),
            },
        },
        Source: aws.String(from),
    })
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Print the response from AWS SES
    println(result)
}
