Convenient way to translate JSON email from SNS Topic to readable format?
1
Hi all, hope all is well!
I have a domain email address set up using the following architecture:
Incoming Amazon SES email -> Publish to SNS topic -> output is in unreadable JSON format.
I followed this guide to set it up, but there it seems the unreadable output is the final product.
Comments on the guide talk about using a script to translate this, but I'm lost on how to set it up, and it seems there should be an easier way to do this.
Does anyone have any recommendations for me?

Hi amarcin,
There are two options:
- Use subscription protocol "Email" instead of "Email-JSON". It has same result but in clear text.
- Send the notifications to a Lambda which can then send a formatted email via SES. For fan-out pattern and scalability, you could send to SNS->SQS<-Lambda
Thank you! I've found that even using the Email subscription protocol still returns a JSON object. Good tip on using SQS as well. I found this document for using a Lambda function: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/messaging-and-targeting/forward-incoming-email-to-an-external-destination/
