I didn't add the email channel myself, but when I run 'amplify update notifications' I don't see a prompt for any of these things.

amplify update notifications
✔ Choose the notification channel to configure · Email
The Email channel is currently enabled
✔ Do you want to disable the Email channel (y/N) · no
✔ The 'From' Email address used to send emails · MYEMAIL
✔ The ARN of an identity verified with SES · MYARN
✔ The ARN of an IAM Role used to submit events to Mobile notifications' event ingestion service ·
✔ The Email channel has been successfully updated.

Where do I add them?

This is interesting.

Hey @mjmostachetti 👋 thanks for raising this! While we have a few active bugs for notifications, it appears the missing inputs are coming from the following prompts:

✔ The 'From' Email address used to send emails · MYEMAIL
✔ The ARN of an identity verified with SES · MYARN
✔ The ARN of an IAM Role used to submit events to Mobile notifications' event ingestion service ·

Do you see this information captured in amplify/team-provider-info.json or amplify/backend/backend-config.json?

[mjmostachetti]

None of my inputs from those 3 questions are anywhere in the solution.

@josefaidt Are there any work arounds for this? Any ETA on a fixes for the notifications bugs?

Hey, I was able to reproduce the issue. marking this as bug. Looking into workarounds.

Notifications (and analytics) resource by Amplify is kind of buggy...
I managed to create notifications resource on dev env, but when I try to add new environment, it doesn't work.

Once I run into it, I can't remove thoese resources ("amplify remove notifications" aloso fails with error "Cannot read property 'Id' of undefined")

Please help.

Hey @fujimonfn, To mitigate the issue I was able to find a workaround. Please find the steps as follows.

For the error: FromAddress, Identity or RoleArn is missing for the Email channel

1. find the .vscode folder and set flag with amplify/backend/amplify-meta.json as false. As the file will be hidden in vscode.
2. open the amplify-meta.json file under the amplify/backend directory.
3. find notifications and under outputs add RoleArn with its value.

Then run amplify update notifications or amplify remove notifications to disable or remove notifications.
The team has been made aware into the situation on the error Missing required key ApplicationId in params. A PR is currently in place to mitigate this. Please refer to #11494
