Before you can send emails, we need to confirm the sender address. This is to ensure that you are the owner of this email and that we are allowed to send emails on your behalf with Friendly Automate.
We use Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) with locations in the EU for sending emails, for everything else we use dedicated servers at a provider headquartered in Germany (EU) or in Switzerland - depending on the location and preference of our customers.

Search for an email from Amazon SES in the inbox of the corresponding sender address. It should look something like this:
Click the link after the first text paragraph:
After the click, unfortunately, there is no real confirmation page, but only a general info page about Amazon SES:
The confirmation should now be successful. You don't need to do anything else on the Amazon info page, therefore you don't need to create an AWS account.
If the confirmation did not work against all expectations, we will contact you.
