# Amazon SES

### Create your Amazon SES credentials

In order to link AcyMailing with your Amazon SES account, you will need to create a dedicated SMTP user. First visit the SMTP settings page then click on Create SMTP credentials:

Notice the **SMTP endpoint**, this will be the value to add in the "**Amazon SES server name**" field.

After clicking the "**Create SMTP credentials**" button, give it a clear name that your future colleagues will instantly understand in a few years, then click "**Create user**":

You will then be able to copy/download the credentials. This is the only time you will be able to get them:

### Enter credentials in AcyMailing

Our dedicated integration is to be used rather than the "External service (SMTP)" method:&#x20;

The "**Amazon SES server name**" field is your SMTP endpoint in the "**SMTP settings**" menu of Amazon SES.
