How to use SES to send emails for job failure

[Muneeshbiologit]

I am using the below code snippet for sending emails for action status using AWS SES. But i am keep facing issue fro from address

 if: always()
      uses: dawidd6/action-send-mail@v3
      with:
        # mail server settings
        server_address: ${{secrets.SMTP_HOST}}
        server_port: 465
        # Optional (recommended): mail server username:
        username: ${{secrets.SMTP_USERNAME}}
        # Optional (recommended) mail server password:
        password: ${{secrets.SMTP_PASSWORD}}
        # email subject
        subject: ${{ github.job }} job of ${{ github.repository }} has ${{ job.status }}
        # email body as text
        body: ${{ github.job }} job in worflow ${{ github.workflow }} of ${{ github.repository }} has ${{ job.status }}
        # comma-separated string, send email to
        to: test@example.com
        # from email name
        from: test@example.com

@dawidd6 i used the above format but still getting same error. Any idea on this?

I gave like this but still failing...any idea...as i told before we are using AWS SES with SMTP credentials.

@dawidd6 thankyou very much for your time..i made it work

Maybe post the solution here that worked for you, so anyone else won't need to ask same question again.

@dawidd6 I had the same issue when trying to send email from AWS SES. It seems the from field in the action needs to be explicitly set to the format:

from: username <user@domain.com>

I think that AWS is angry about the double quotes encapsulating the name.

Thanks for the solution, closing.
