What you'll need
- An active Amazon SES account with permission to install apps
- An active Zendesk account
- A free Arahi AI account (sign up takes 30 seconds)

Authenticate Amazon SES
Click "Add Connection" and select Amazon SES from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Amazon SES's authorization page. Grant Arahi permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
Authenticate Zendesk

Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new message received in amazon ses or new ticket created in zendesk. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.

Test and activate
