How to integrate aws sdk ses in golang?

Question

I'm using AWS to host my server in Go language. I am stuck as I'm not sure how to use their AWS SES SDK to send an email. Any ideas?

It is pretty straightforward as shown in the link from your question.

What are you having trouble with ?

Minimal Example :

Imports : github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws, github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/service/ses and github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/credentials, github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/session

awsSession := session.New(&aws.Config{
        Region:      aws.String("aws.region"),
        Credentials: credentials.NewStaticCredentials("aws.accessKeyID", "aws.secretAccessKey" , ""),
    })

sesSession := ses.New(awsSession)

sesEmailInput := &ses.SendEmailInput{
    Destination: &ses.Destination{
        ToAddresses:  []*string{aws.String("receiver@xyz.com")},
    },
    Message: &ses.Message{
        Body: &ses.Body{
            Html: &ses.Content{
                Data: aws.String("Body HTML")},
        },
        Subject: &ses.Content{
            Data: aws.String("Subject"),
        },
    },
    Source: aws.String("sender@xyz.com"),
    ReplyToAddresses: []*string{
        aws.String("sender@xyz.com"),
    },
}

_, err := sesSession.SendEmail(sesEmailInput)
