I have multiple .pdf attachments and I want to pass the attachments as an array of objects as shown below to the SendEmail function. I read through the AWS documents and there was no information regarding attachments.

   let attachment_data = [];
    attachment_data.push({
        filename: 'ticket.pdf',
        path:'/sample/tickets/ticket.pdf',
        content: new Buffer(fs.readFileSync('/sample/tickets/ticket.pdf')).toString('base64'),
        contentType: 'application/pdf',
    });


-----------------------------------------------------------------------



    function SendMail(options, template, cb) {
        for (var key in options) {
            template = template.replace('{{%' + key + '%}}', options[key]);
        }
        client.sendEmail({
            from: constants.EMAIL_FROM,
            to: options.email,
            subject: options.subject,
            message: template,    //html content
            attachments: (options.attachment)?options.attachment:null  //array of objects
        }, function(err, data, res) {
            if(err) cb(err, null);
            else cb(null,res)
       });
    }

------------------------------------------------------------------------
am receiving email but without attachment and I looked all over the documentation and all but all I could find is this statement below which is relevant.

 - **The total size of the message, including attachments, must be smaller
   than 10 MB.**

am using the below package [node-ses][1]

    var ses = require('node-ses'),
    client = ses.createClient({
        key: process.env.AWS_ACCESSKEY_ID,
        secret: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESSKEY,
        amazon: process.env.SES_REGION
    });

  • What I understand from `node-ses` docs is that it doesn't support attachments the way you want. You can only build a raw email and have the attachment there. Check out [nodemailer](https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodemailer) it has attachment support out of the box. – Alex Michailidis Feb 06 '18 at 08:33
  • From multiple different solutions [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/49364968/5375291) one actually worked pretty well. – Debu Shinobi Mar 15 '22 at 10:10

  • Suggested to read the AWS JS SDK official documentation here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v2/developer-guide/ses-examples-sending-email.html – Yajairo87 Aug 02 '19 at 21:59

    The above SDK link has no examples of sending an email with attachments, so don't waste your time reading through it. – Francis Jul 08 '20 at 04:01

AWS SES provides efficient way of configuring and sending email. Please refer to the following post. It worked for me. How can send PDF attachment in `Node aws-sdk` sendRawEmail function?
