✉️ Email-Driven Archival System

A serverless AWS workflow that reacts to email replies by archiving uploaded files. Built using Amazon S3, Lambda, SES, and IAM, this system allows users to upload files and later trigger file movement to an archive location just by replying to notification emails with a simple command.

🚀 How It Works

1. File Upload to S3
   • Users upload files to leonard-upload-bucket-2025/uploads/
2. Email Notification
   • FileUploadNotifier Lambda sends a SES email about the upload
3. User Reply
   • User replies with a subject like Delete sample-report.pdf
4. Email Parsed & Triggered
   • SES routes reply to leonard-email-replies-2025
   • DeleteFileMover Lambda scans the reply and moves the file to:

     leonard-archive-bucket-2025/archive/
