Amazon SES no longer working without Cc and Bcc

I work at a company that uses Zapier and Amazon SES integration to send out mass emails to employees. About four hours ago, these zaps stopped going through without explanation. We have not made any changes on our side to my knowledge.

The error we are getting is as follows: 

Invalid type for parameter Destination.BccAddresses, value: None, type: <class 'NoneType'>, valid types: <class 'list'>, <class 'tuple'>
Invalid type for parameter ReplyToAddresses, value: None, type: <class 'NoneType'>, valid

It looks as though the zap is no longer accepting a blank value in the Cc/Bcc fields. If the Cc and Bcc field is filled in, the zap will go through. 

I’m curious to know whether anybody else is suddenly experiencing this issue, and whether the problem lies with Zapier or with Amazon SES.

We use SES and are experiencing the same issue today. I'm thinking that the SES API may have changed.

Hi @Maki-Tak and @jstauf94 

FYI: Most Zap apps are maintained by the app developer, rather than Zapier, altho unsure who (Amazon or Zapier) maintains the Amazon SES Zap app integration.

You can open a ticket with Zapier Support here for them to troubleshoot this issue further: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

Hi folks!

I can see that there is a known bug around this where users are seeing the error Invalid type for parameter... when information isn’t added to non-required fields. 

@Maki-Tak and @F.Leanzi, it looks like you were already on the bug report, and @jstauf94 I’ve added you to the list of affected users, so you’ll all receive an email when we have an update.

Having the same error this morning. Will I get notified when this thread updates?
