Common Hosted Email Service (CHES)

The Common Hosted Email Service is a highly available microservice designed to reliably deliver and manage email messages using NodeMailer.

Automate the submission of single or bulk email notifications and merge those emails with your beautiful personalized HTML templates. CHES lets you preview your emails before sending them, check the status of your sent emails and schedule emails to be sent at a later time and more.

Getting Started

There is a change to the onboarding process for the BC Government's hosted CHES service. Before requesting your API credentials , you must make an IStore request for a consultation with OCIO Messaging (the underlying SMTP service provider). Book your consultation through your service desk (Office Productivity > Consulting Services > Messaging and Collaboration - Consulting) or email [email protected].

If you would like to learn about this service and find out how to get access to use it please refer to the following:
