# Sending email through SES

ConsoleMe can be configured to send e-mails when policy requests are created, or their status is updated.

The following configuration should be added to your Configuration YAML to enable this feature:

```yaml
ses:
  support_reference: "Please contact us at consoleme@example.com if you have any questions or concerns."
  arn: "arn:aws:ses:us-east-1:123456789012:identity/example.com"
  consoleme:
    name: ConsoleMe
    sender: consoleme_test@example.com
```

`support_reference` (Optional) A string that is appended to the bottom of the e-mail ConsoleMe sends to users. This is where you'd give the user a call-to-action for further follow-up, such as chatting or sending an e-mail to your team.

`arn` (Optional) Optional Source ARN field. This is used only for sending authorization. It is the ARN of the identity that is associated with the sending authorization policy that permits you to send email through the desired e-mail address. You can read more about SourceArn [here](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/ses.html#SES.Client.send_email).

`consoleme.name` (Optional) Specifies the name of the sender, and is used in the subject of the e-mail.

`consoleme.sender` The email address that is sending the email from ConsoleMe. This email address must be either individually verified with Amazon SES, or from a domain that has been verified with Amazon SES.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hawkins.gitbook.io/consoleme/configuration/ses.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
