# Send email using AWS SES
> Learn how to send an email using React Email and the AWS SES Node.js SDK.
## 1. Install dependencies
Get the [react-email](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-email) package and the [AWS SES Node.js SDK](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/v3/latest/clients/client-ses/).
```sh npm theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
npm install @aws-sdk/client-ses react-email
```
```sh yarn theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
yarn add @aws-sdk/client-ses react-email
```
```sh pnpm theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-ses react-email
```
## 2. Create an email using React
Start by building your email template in a `.jsx` or `.tsx` file.
```tsx email.tsx theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
import * as React from 'react';
import { Html, Button } from "react-email";
export function Email(props) {
const { url } = props;
return (
);
}
```
## 3. Convert to HTML and send email
Import the email template you just built, convert into an HTML string, and use the AWS SES SDK to send it.
```tsx theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
import type { SendEmailCommandInput } from "@aws-sdk/client-ses";
import { render } from 'react-email';
import { SES } from '@aws-sdk/client-ses';
import { Email } from './email';
const ses = new SES({ region: process.env.AWS_SES_REGION })
const emailHtml = await render();
const params: SendEmailCommandInput = {
Source: 'you@example.com',
Destination: {
ToAddresses: ['user@gmail.com'],
},
Message: {
Body: {
Html: {
Charset: 'UTF-8',
Data: emailHtml,
},
},
Subject: {
Charset: 'UTF-8',
Data: 'hello world',
},
},
};
await ses.sendEmail(params);
```
