Amazon Simple Email Service ReceiptRule LambdaAction

The LambdaAction property type includes an action in an Amazon SES receipt rule that calls an AWS Lambda function and, optionally, publishes a notification to Amazon SNS.

To enable Amazon SES to call your AWS Lambda function or to publish to an Amazon SNS topic of another account, Amazon SES must have permission to access those resources. For information about giving permissions, see Giving Permissions to Amazon SES for Email Receiving in the Amazon Simple Email Service Developer Guide. For information about using AWS Lambda actions in receipt rules, see Lambda Action in the Amazon Simple Email Service Developer Guide.

LambdaAction is a property of the Amazon Simple Email Service ReceiptRule Action property type.
