1. Customer Support Chatbot Integration with AWS SES

    Python

    To build a customer support chatbot integration with AWS Simple Email Service (AWS SES), we will need to set up AWS SES for sending and receiving emails, and then we can integrate it with a chatbot service. For this task, Pulumi offers several resources that we can use. Here’s an outline of the program we'll write to accomplish this:

    1. AWS SES Email Identity: This resource is used to verify an email address or domain that you own, to send and receive emails.
    2. AWS SES Template: You can create an email template that includes the body and subject line for messages that your chatbot may use to respond to customer inquiries.
    3. AWS SES Receipt Rule Set: It allows us to define rules to process incoming email receipts. You can use this to automatically trigger actions like sending an email to the chatbot system when a new inquiry comes in.

    Below is a detailed Pulumi Python program that sets up these resources.

    import pulumi import pulumi_aws as aws # 1. Verify an email identity for sending and receiving emails # Replace `your-email@example.com` with your actual email you want to verify. email_identity = aws.ses.EmailIdentity("supportEmail", email="your-email@example.com") # 2. Create an email template for your chatbot to use when responding to inquiries email_template = aws.ses.Template("supportResponseTemplate", name="SupportResponseTemplate", html="<p>Your support ticket has been received! We will get back to you shortly.</p>", subject="Support Ticket Received!") # 3. Configure a Receipt Rule Set to process incoming emails # You will need to create a SNS topic to trigger the chatbot system. # The `rule_set_name` should be unique. sns_topic = aws.sns.Topic("emailProcessingTopic") receipt_rule_set = aws.ses.ReceiptRuleSet("supportReceiptRuleSet", rule_set_name="SupportReceiptRuleSet", rules=[ aws.ses.ReceiptRuleSetRuleArgs( name="TriggerChatbot", recipients=[email_identity.email.apply(lambda email: [email])], # apply a list transformation for recipients actions=[ aws.ses.ReceiptRuleSetRuleActionArgs( type="SNS", topic_arn=sns_topic.arn, ), ], enabled=True, ), ]) pulumi.export("verification_status", email_identity.verification_status) pulumi.export("template_name", email_template.name) pulumi.export("sns_topic_arn", sns_topic.arn) pulumi.export("rule_set_name", receipt_rule_set.rule_set_name)

    In the above program:

    • We create a verified email identity (aws.ses.EmailIdentity) which will be used by the chatbot system to send and receive emails. Replace the placeholder email with an actual one you control.
    • Then, we define an email template (aws.ses.Template) that the chatbot would rely on for sending formatted responses to support inquiries. You can customize the html content and subject as per your requirements.
    • We create an SNS topic (aws.sns.Topic) that represents the destination for notification messages processed by SES.
    • We configure a receipt rule set (aws.ses.ReceiptRuleSet) with a rule that specifies what actions to take when an email is received that matches the recipients' addresses.

    After these resources are established, you will need to implement the logic that connects AWS SES to your chatbot service. That part of the integration usually involves AWS Lambda functions triggered by SNS topics, or other integration technologies like API Gateway, depending on how your chatbot is designed. This kind of integration is not directly handled by AWS SES and thus is beyond the scope of what Pulumi resources set up. However, Pulumi does facilitate creating those additional AWS resources if needed.

    The use of Pulumi allows for a declarative coding style, clearly showing the created resources and their relationships, making it easy to manage and adjust your infrastructure as code.
