# Set up an Amazon EventBridge destination for event publishing
<a name="event-publishing-add-event-destination-eventbridge"></a>

An Amazon EventBridge event destination notifies you about the email sending events you specify in a configuration set. SES generates and sends email sending events that you define when creating an event destination to the EventBridge default event bus. An [event bus](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-event-bus.html) is a router that receives events and can deliver them to multiple destinations. You can learn more about integrating email sending events with Amazon EventBridge in [Monitoring SES events using Amazon EventBridge](monitoring-eventbridge.md). Because an EventBridge event destination can only be set up in a configuration set, you have to [create a configuration set](event-publishing-create-configuration-set.md) before you add the event destination to the configuration set.

The procedure in this section shows how to add EventBridge event destination details to a configuration set and assumes you have completed steps 1 through 6 in [Creating an event destination](event-destinations-manage.md#event-destination-add).

You can also use the [UpdateConfigurationSetEventDestination](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/APIReference-V2/API_UpdateConfigurationSetEventDestination.html) operation in the Amazon SES API V2 to create and modify event destinations.

**To add EventBridge event destination details to a configuration set using the console**

1. These are the detailed instructions for selecting EventBridge as your event destination type in [Step 7](event-destinations-manage.md#specify-event-dest-step) and assumes you have completed all the previous steps in [Creating an event destination](event-destinations-manage.md#event-destination-add). After selecting the *Amazon EventBridge* **Destination type**, entering a destination **Name**, and enabling **Event publishing**, an **Amazon EventBridge event bus** informational pane is displayed.

1. Choose **Next**.

1. On the review screen, if you're satisfied with how you defined your event destination, choose **Add destination**. This will open the event destination's summary page where a success banner will confirm if your event destination was created or modified successfully.
