Connect this destination to export audience membership as a CSV, for use in your own bucket and downstream tools.

This destination writes to your Amazon S3 bucket and is a good fit when you want to:

• Use a file export rather than a paid-media or messaging API
• Match contacts on a unique identifier

This maps to GrowthLoop Audiences:

If Adobe provisioned the bucket for Audience Manager onboarding, use Adobe Audience Manager instead.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have:

• An S3 bucket for GrowthLoop audience exports.
• An IAM user with a programmatic access key and a policy that grants write access to that bucket. Attach a policy like this, and replace the bucket ARN with yours:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:GetObjectVersionTagging",
                "s3:GetObjectAcl",
                "s3:GetObjectVersionAcl",
                "s3:DeleteObject",
                "s3:GetObjectAttributes",
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:PutEncryptionConfiguration",
                "s3:GetEncryptionConfiguration",
                "s3:GetObjectTagging",
                "s3:GetObjectVersion",
                "s3:GetBucketACL"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::test-export-from-fw",
                "arn:aws:s3:::test-export-from-fw/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Set up Amazon S3 as a destination

1. In GrowthLoop, click the Destinations tab on the left sidebar.
2. Click New Destination in the top right corner.
3. Search for S3 and click Add S3.
4. Enter the required information, then click Create.

GrowthLoop validates the connection. S3 then appears in your list of connected destinations.

Export to Amazon S3

From within GrowthLoop, export from an audience. See Export an audience if you need more information on these steps.

After building or selecting an audience, click Export, then search for your S3 destination.

Map identifiers

Map Unique Identifier to the warehouse column that identifies each contact. You can also map custom attributes from the audience as additional fields.

Configure the export

• Name: GrowthLoop uses this in the S3 filename.
• Export Type: Choose Export All Records for a full file on every run, or Export Updates (Deltas) to send a full file first and only changes after that.
• Personalization Fields: Optional. Select the columns you want in the CSV.

Export behavior

This is what GrowthLoop writes when you export an audience.

Confirm the export was successful

When the run finishes, confirm you can use the data in Amazon S3.

• Audience export: Open the S3 bucket and look up the latest CSV.

In GrowthLoop, review counts on the audience Exports tab. See Export an audience for more information.

Congrats on successfully exporting to Amazon S3!
