Learn how to connect your Amazon S3 bucket with vFairs to automatically receive custom CSV reports. This guide covers the entire setup, from credential entry to customizing delivery schedules.
Navigating to the Integration Setup
To access the S3 Bucket Export integration:
- Log in to your backend dashboard.
- Scroll to the bottom of the left menu and select Integrations.
- Find and click the S3 integration app.
- Hit Launch Setup to begin.
1. S3 Credentials
To get started, enter your Amazon S3 credentials. This ensures secure, authorized delivery of CSV reports directly to your S3 bucket.
- Access Key ID & Secret Key: Obtain these from your AWS IAM console. Make sure your IAM user has the necessary permissions: s3:PutObject and s3:ListBucket.
- Region: Set the AWS region where your S3 bucket resides (e.g., us-east-1).
- Bucket Name: Input the exact S3 bucket name you want to use.
- S3 Path (Optional): Define a remote path or folder within the bucket for report delivery (optional).
2. Reports: Select Custom Reports
The next step is choosing which custom reports get sent to your S3 bucket.
- Select Reports: Choose one or more custom CSV reports from the dropdown menu. These will be automatically exported according to your automation preferences.
- Multiple reports can be selected, and they’ll be included in each export.
3. Enable Automated Daily Exports & Date Range
You can automate the export to occur daily, ensuring up-to-date data in your S3 bucket.
- Enable Automated Exports: Toggle the switch to activate scheduled exports.
- Start Date & End Date: Specify the date range. Reports will be sent every 24 hours within this range.
- You must define both a start and end date for automation to work.
Finalizing Setup
- Once all required fields are filled, click Test Connection to confirm that your S3 credentials and bucket details are correct.
- If the test is successful, click Complete Setup to enable automated exports.
