How to get smtp uri

Question

I have an application that I am working on and I want to use Amazon ses smtp to send email. I am using firebase as a backend. Firebase has a Triggger Email extension that I want to use. I have managed to do everything right but the Trigger Email extensions asks for smtp URI. I am getting smtp URL from amazon ses. How do I get a smtp URI instead of URL.

Edit - So URL and URI are same. So I should change my question.

Trigger email wants a URI in this format - smtps://username:password@smtp.hostname.com

I am getting this from amazon aws - email-smtp.us-east-2.amazonaws.com

So now my question is how to use amazon aws ses smtp with firebase trigger extension.

A URL is a URI. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/176264/what-is-the-difference-between-a-uri-a-url-and-a-urn — evolutionxbox, Jan 31 '21 at 12:03
please know that I didn’t say URLs and URIs are the same. — It looks like you already have the URL you need. — evolutionxbox, Jan 31 '21 at 12:17

I think this should be your URL: smtps://username:password@email-smtp.us-east-2.amazonaws.com

Ensure the whole string is URL encoded.

And username is your smtp username and password is your smtp password. Don't use your amazon aws password or IAM username and password. And ass @tyrion saaid, encode your smtp password. Use this - ` let result = encodeURIComponent(); console.log(result) ` – user3399180 Feb 02 '21 at 04:47
