Email files from a folder on your machine via Amazon SES
Drop a file in a folder on your own machine and it arrives as an email attachment. The DocEvent Agent picks up each new file and DocEvent delivers it via Amazon SES — sender, recipient and subject configurable, everything managed from the console.

How DocEvent Agent (on-prem) to SES Email routing works
DocEvent Agent
A DocEvent Agent running on your own machine watches a folder and sends new files into the channel.
DocEvent Channel
Email via SES
Files are delivered as email attachments via Amazon Simple Email Service.
1
File arrives via DocEvent Agent (on-prem)
Enroll the agent once and manage everything from the web console — browse the machine remotely to pick the watched folder, with no local config files. It connects outbound over TLS (no inbound ports) and confirms every transfer.
2
Channel routes it
DocEvent's channel server matches the incoming file to your configured route, queues it for delivery, and ensures no file is ever lost — even during downstream outages.
3
Delivered to SES Email
Amazon SES with configurable sender, recipient, subject, and body. Attachment included.
Common use cases
Real workflows that teams automate with a DocEvent Agent (on-prem) → SES Email channel.
- Email invoices or statements the moment your on-premise system writes them
- Send end-of-day reports from a local folder to a distribution list
- Replace manual attach-and-send workflows with a watched folder
- Notify customers with generated documents straight from a server directory
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the DocEvent Agent (on-prem) or SES Email side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
