Introduction:
SAP Hybris Marketing (1602 onwards) supports two email Service providers for Email Campaign management, namely: AWS-SES and SAP Mobile Service for Email. This paper will cover end to end integration of SAP Hybris Marketing with AWS- SES and is based on SAP Hybris Marketing 1511.
In order to set up the AWS- SES email service provider, you will have to do configurations in:
- SAP Hybris Marketing Customizing
- Amazon service for emails, notifications and queues and
- Amazon Web Service Account for the Simple Email Service (SES) using http (not smtp)
STEPS:
- You have created an AWS account or has been setup by your BASIS team and you are provided with Login Id and Password.
- Login to https://console.aws.amazon.com with your credentials and configure a verified sender email address. You will need this when you define a sender profile later on.
3. For the verified sender email address, edit the Notification Configuration and create a new Amazon SNS topic, eg bounces and complaints. Give the new topic the same name as the feedback queue. For example : AMAZON_BOUNCE
4.. In the Sender Notification Configuration, assign the SNS topic and disable Email Feedback Forwarding.
After Saving the config ARN will be generated as shown below:
5. In the SQS console, create a new queue with the same name you gave the feedback queue in technical configuration.
6. Subscribe to new queue to the SNS topic you created earlier.
Go to your AWS -SES Account and click on Security Credentials
Now you should create an IAM Users required to send or used in Sender Profile. It’s advisable to use IAM users to send emails as you can control the permissions/ authorizations.
- Steps to create an IAM User
- Enter the user Names and Click the check box to "Generate an access key for each users" and then click on create ,as shown below:
- Security Credentials Created for IAM Users.
7. Now You have set an account up at Amazon AWS-SES and received following parameters during account set-up:
- Amazon Access Key ID (hash string)
- Secret Access Key (hash string)
- Feedback Queue Path : see below for details
The Feedback Queue Path is the last individual portion of the queue URL at Amazon.
For example, the path fromhttps://sqs.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/NNNNNNNNNNNN/ABC is /NNNNNNNNNNNN/ABC.
https://sqs.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/NNNNNNNNNNNN/ABC is /NNNNNNNNNNNN/ABC.
Identify Feedback Queue Path for you Hybris Mkt System :
“/0XXXXXXXXXXX/AMAZON_BOUNCE”
8. Set up a Group so that you can assign Policies to Users. For Example “Administrator” and assign all the admin policies.
9. Select from the Policies to attach it to Group Created in above step and click next.
10. Assign Users to the Group
