PennyWire is a FileMaker-native email dispatch tool built on Amazon SES. Call a script, pass your payload — PennyWire handles the SigV4 signing, the MIME assembly, the template injection, and the delivery confirmation. All from inside FileMaker. No external servers. No third-party SaaS relay. Your data never touches infrastructure you don't own.
Fires from your scripts via a single call. No middleware, no Node.js, no external server — pure FM dispatch using FileMaker 2024's native curl.
Deliverability you can trust. Rich HTML templates with dynamic data injection, DKIM signing, and the SES message ID returned straight back into FileMaker.
Send invoices, reports, images — MIME type handling built in. No wrangling required on your end.
You own the infrastructure. SES costs fractions of a cent per email. No per-seat licensing, no vendor lock-in on delivery.
The PennyWire demo file comes preconfigured with testing credentials that allow you to send beautifully formatted HTML emails directly from your FileMaker solution. Those credentials can only send email from our testing address to the one email address you verify with us.
Taking your emails out of development and into production takes a few steps. You'll still need to generate your own SES credentials, verify a sender identity, adjust DNS records and set up tracking. That's where the team at Informing Designs has your back.
Schedule a consultation →AWS is powerful. It is also a maze the first time through. IAM permissions, SES sandbox limits, DKIM verification, SigV4 request signing — each piece is well-documented, and none of it is obvious. We've already made every mistake so you don't have to. Our setup service gets you from zero to sending in a single session.
