Verify email in SES as part of Cognito verification

How can you verify emails in SES once it is verified in Cognito? Expected behaviour is when user registers via Cognito, they receive verification email. After clicking on verification link user will be verified both in Cognito and SES.

I would be happy if I could even do the same with SNS

UPDATE For whom are interested, I had my SES account under sandbox. Of course in production I can send emails to my Cognito user pool with asking them to register again in SES

You mean you are not able to send verification email even though you have set FromEmail in cognito? – Jayesh Dhandha
User needs to verify email as part of Cognito registration, but they also need to do the same thing for SES when they added to the list. I am looking for a way to send only one verification email to register user in Cognito AND SES – Mazzi
Well, I don't understand your requirement clearly. But what we are doing is we are giving permission to cognito in the SES Identity policy with cognito-idp.amazonaws.com Using this the cognito can directly use this email in their configuration and auto verification email should work fine! – Jayesh Dhandha
You need to verify SES recipients only when your SES account is in sandbox state as AWS wants to make sure you understand implications of utilising this service. When going to production you need to request for limit increase. docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/… – Peter Pajchl
@PeterPajchl Such a simple oversight! Thank you! – Mazzi

I am little confused with your question, but I am assuming you are having a problem sending emails to users through SES. If I am wrong, please elaborate your question little more.

There is no need to verify user's email address in SES. Maybe SES is restricting you to send emails globally. By default, to send emails through SES the receiver email must be registered, AWS is responsible for this behavior. You have to ask AWS support team to open the account to allow sending emails to any receiver address.
