I've recently just tried SendGrid, and it was super easy to setup. Their "dynamic templates" feature is great. I also took my templates from here: https://codedmails.com/ https://codedmails.com/ I then have an AWS lambda function (which also holds our API). After a user "activates" or "logs in", I just schedule a send. Seems to be working fine as of now. I do hope to have a lambda function running every 24hrs or so in the future, where it just scans the DB to look at user events (alternatively, it can also scan Cloudwatch logs) - and then do some logic to send X email after Y event.

I had to dump SendGrid after discovering that I couldn't reliably deliver email to outlook.com addresses without upgrading to their $75/month tier (yes, even with DKIM configured). I'm using Amazon SES now, which has a predictably awful AWS user interface, but at least it can deliver email.

  I’m just realizing this. My mails to outlook are not delivering well I think
