(JavaScript) SendRawEmail (HTML Email with PDF Attachment)

See more Amazon SES Examples

Demonstrates how to use the SES SendRawEmail action to send an email with an attachment. Note: The total size of an SES email cannot exceed 10MB.

See SES SendRawEmail for more information.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Let's first prepare the email to be sent..
var email = new CkEmail();
email.Charset = "utf-8";

email.SetHtmlBody("<html><body><p>This is a test <b>HTML email with a PDF attachment</b></p></body></html>");

// file extension.   This example has no need of using the return value..

// The From address should be an email address verified for use
// as a sender for your Amazon SES account.
// The From address will also be the Source parameter for the SES SendRawEmail request.

// Add recipients...
// Note: We DO NOT add BCC recipients to the email.  A BCC address should not be
// present in the MIME header of the email (otherwise it would not be "blind" because
// other recipients would be able to see it).
// These same addresses will be added as parameters to the SendRawEmail request.
// (BCC addresses are added as parameters at that time.)
