Amazon S3
Learn how to set up Amazon S3 as a destination so you can start exporting audiences to it.
In this Help Center article, we will walk you through the steps to get Amazon S3 connected as a destination in the GrowthLoop web application. Once connected, you will be able to send your audience segments to an S3 bucket as CSVs!
Requirements:
-
Ensure you have an S3 bucket created for GrowthLoop to land audience exports.
-
Ensure you have created an IAM user, and attached a policy that provides access to the S3 bucket in step #1. The user will need the following permissions on the s3 bucket:
{ "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/*" ] } ] }
-
Ensure the IAM user mentioned in step #2 has a programmatic access key assigned. The Access Key and Secret Access Key will be used in GrowthLoop to connect to the s3 bucket
GrowthLoop Configuration:
- Click Destinations in the left rail
- Click New Destination on the top right corner of then Add S3
- Fill out the following destination info
- Destination Name: This how the destination will be named and referred to in to the app going forward
- Sync Frequency: Please select Daily or Hourly, this will control how often GrowthLoop exports audiences to S3
- Bucket: Please enter the bucket name as shown in the AWS S3 console
- AWS Access Key: Please past in the contents of the Access Key generated for your IAM user in step #3 of the prerequisites
- AWS Access Secret: Please paste in the contents of the Secret Access Key generated in step #3 of the prerequisites
- Columns to Export: Please provide a comma separated list of columns you’d like to appear in your csv export (e.g NAME,ADDRESS,CITY,STATE)
Click Create. You now have connected Amazon S3 as a destination.
