django-ses-sns-tracker

A simple wrapper around django-ses to receive and persist sns event data.

Records mail delivery in the SESMailDelivery model and updates the state if a matching SNS notification is received.

Requirements

• Django version 3.2+
• A PostgreSQL Database

Quick start

1. Add ses_sns_tracker to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       # ...
       'ses_sns_tracker',
   ]

2. Run python manage.py migrate to create the models.

3. Setup django-ses

4. Add the webhook view to urls.py:

   from django_ses.views import SESEventWebhookView
   
   urlpatterns = [
       # ...
       path('ses-events/', SESEventWebhookView.as_view(), name='handle-event-webhook'),
       # ...
   ]

5. (Optional) Use ses_sns_tracker.backends.SESSNSTrackerBackend as your default email backend:

   EMAIL_BACKEND = 'ses_sns_tracker.backends.SESSNSTrackerBackend'
   

   This way all emails will be sent via the Amazon SES API.

6. (Optional) Send an email via the SESMailDelivery manager (doesn't require SESSNSTrackerBackend as the default mail backend):

   from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
   from ses_sns_tracker.models import SESMailDelivery
   
   message = EmailMessage(
       subject='email subject',
       body='email body',
       from_email='[email protected]',
       to=['[email protected]'],
   )
   SESMailDelivery.objects.create_message(message, fail_silently=False, fake_delivery=False)

Settings

• SES_SNS_TRACKER_DEBUG_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'

  Set mail backend to use for the actual mail delivery in DEBUG mode (SESMailDelivery objects will still be created). Default: None

Development setup

1. Install development dependencies:

   poetry install

2. Install the ruff extension for code linting & formatting in your IDE.

3. (Optional) Override settings in example_proj/settings_local.py & tests/settings_local.py as required.
