ToolJet can connect to your Amazon SES account to send emails.

## Connection

To establish a connection with the **Amazon SES** data source, you can either click on the **+ Add new Data source** button located on the query panel or navigate to the **[Data Sources](/docs/data-sources/overview)** page through the ToolJet dashboard.

ToolJet requires the following to connect to Amazon SES:

- **Region**
- **Authentication**
- **Access key**
- **Secret key**

You may also select **AWS Instance Credentials** or **AWS ARN Role** as authentication methods from the dropdown. These options enable authentication through AWS-managed roles, eliminating the need to manually supply IAM access keys and allowing integration based on the configuration of your AWS environment.

**Note:** It is recommended to create a new IAM user for the database so that you can control the access levels of ToolJet.
