Cannot configure From email in new User Pool

Question

I am configuring a new Cognito User Pool. I have a verified email address which I am using, but when I try to create the user pool, I get the following error with no hint as to which parameter is invalid:

Cannot configure From email address for default email configuration (Service: AWSCognitoIdentityProviderService; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidParameterException*'*

Any ideas?

Just changed to SES from cognito default and it worked for me.. — samairtimer, Apr 01 '20 at 13:11
I also experienced this issue when using the CDK. A similar SES misunderstanding as mentioned by @samairtimer . See this [github issue](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/6768) if you are also using the CDK. — Braiden Cutforth, Jul 13 '21 at 01:51

There are two solutions here:

using SES
remove email "FROM email address" to use defaults

As mentioned in the comment above, changing to use SES seems to solve this issue. I had exactly same problem and using SES worked.
