**End of support notice:** On October 30, 2026, AWS will end support for Amazon Pinpoint. After October 30, 2026, you will no longer be able to access the Amazon Pinpoint console or Amazon Pinpoint resources (endpoints, segments, campaigns, journeys, and analytics). For more information, see [Amazon Pinpoint end of support](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/console/pinpoint/migration-guide). **Note:** APIs related to SMS, voice, mobile push, OTP, and phone number validate are not impacted by this change and are supported by AWS End User Messaging.

# Send transactional emails using Amazon Pinpoint
Send transactional emails

This section provides complete code samples that you can use to send transactional email messages through Amazon Pinpoint:
+ [By using the SendMessages operation in the Amazon Pinpoint API](send-messages-sdk.md): You can use the `SendMessages` operation in the Amazon Pinpoint API to send messages in all of the channels that Amazon Pinpoint supports, including the push notification, SMS, voice, and email channels.

  The advantage of using this operation is that the request syntax for sending messages is very similar across all channels. This makes it easier to repurpose your existing code. The `SendMessages` operation also lets you to substitute content in your email messages, and lets you send email to Amazon Pinpoint endpoint IDs rather than to specific email addresses.

This section includes example code in several programming languages that you can use to start sending transactional emails.

For more code examples on endpoints, segments, and channels see [Code examples](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/pinpoint/latest/developerguide/service_code_examples.html).

## Choose a method to send email


The best method to use for sending transactional email depends on your use case. For example, if you need to send email by using a third-party application, or if there isn't an AWS SDK available for your programming language, you might have to use the SMTP interface. If you want to send messages in other channels that Amazon Pinpoint supports, and you want to use consistent code for making those requests, you should use the `SendMessages` operation in the Amazon Pinpoint API.

## Choose between Amazon Pinpoint and Amazon SES


If you send a large number of transactional emails, such as purchase confirmations or password reset messages, consider using Amazon SES. Amazon SES has an API and an SMTP interface, both of which are well suited to sending email from your applications or services. It also offers additional email features, including email receiving capabilities, configuration sets, and sending authorization capabilities.

Amazon SES also includes an SMTP interface that you can integrate with your existing third-party applications, including customer relationship management (CRM) services such as Salesforce. For more information about sending email using Amazon SES, [Amazon Simple Email Service Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/Welcome.html) for more information.

# Send email by using the Amazon Pinpoint API
Send email using the API

This section contains complete code examples that you can use to send email through the Amazon Pinpoint API by using an AWS SDK. You need to have verified either an email address or domain before you can send a message.

#### [ C\$1 ]

Use this example to send email by using the [AWS SDK for .NET](https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-net/). This example assumes that you've already installed and configured the SDK for .NET. For more information, see [Getting started with the AWS SDK for .NET](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-net/v3/developer-guide/net-dg-config.html) in the *AWS SDK for .NET Developer Guide*.

This example assumes that you're using a shared credentials file to specify the Access Key and Secret Access Key for an existing user. For more information, see [Configuring AWS credentials](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-net/v3/developer-guide/creds-idc.html) in the *AWS SDK for .NET Developer Guide*.

This code example was tested using the AWS SDK for .NET version 3.3.29.13 and .NET Core runtime version 2.1.2.

# Add unsubscribe headers to email using Amazon Pinpoint
Add email unsubscribe headers

**Note**  
Before you can use email headers, you must set up an email orchestration sending role if you are sending email from a campaign or a journey. For direct send email, you must have permissions for `ses:SendEmail` and `ses:SendRawEmail`. For more information, see [Creating an email orchestration sending role](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/pinpoint/latest/userguide/channels-email-orchestration-sending-role.html) in the [Amazon Pinpoint User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/pinpoint/latest/userguide/).

Including an unsubscribe link in your email is a best practice, and in some countries it's a legal requirement. To add a One-click unsubscribe link add the following headers: 

1. Set the header **Name** to `List-Unsubscribe` and set **Value** to your unsubscribe link. The link must support HTTP POST requests to process the recipients unsubscribe request.

1. Set the header **Name** to `List-Unsubscribe-Post` and set **Value** to `List-Unsubscribe=One-Click`. 

You can add up to 15 headers to an email message. For a list of supported headers see [Amazon SES header fields](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/header-fields.html) in the [Amazon Simple Email Service Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/).

The following example shows how to send an email message with unsubscribe headers using the AWS Command Line Interface. For more information about configuring the AWS CLI, see [Configure the AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-configure.html) in the [AWS Command Line Interface User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/).

In the following command, do the following:
+ Replace *AppId* with your application id.
+ Replace *richard\$1roe@example.com* with the recipient's email address.
+ Replace *https://example.com/unsub* with your unsubscribe link.
+ Replace *example123456* with a unique identifier for the recipient.

```
