For Amplitude admins · Updated Nov 6, 2026

Export data from Amplitude

Amplitude customers use Amplitude's built-in export to send events to a storage bucket they own, then give Scowtt read-only access to that bucket.

How it works: You turn on Amplitude's export to a bucket you own and give Scowtt read-only access. Scowtt checks the first files with you.

Before you start

  • An Amplitude admin who can add destinations.
  • A Google Cloud Storage bucket or an Amazon S3 bucket you own. Google Cloud Storage is preferred.

Steps

  1. You: Add a destination in Amplitude

    In Amplitude, go to Catalog > Destinations and add Google Cloud Storage (or Amazon S3). Amplitude needs its own write access to your bucket, as described in its setup flow.

    Amplitude's step-by-step guide: Google Cloud Storage destination.

  2. You: Export events and merged Amplitude IDs

    Amplitude sends gzipped JSON files, usually every hour. Scowtt accepts them as they are.

  3. You: Give Scowtt read access

    Grant Scowtt read-only access to the same bucket, then send your Scowtt team the bucket path. See Share data through Google Cloud Storage or Share data through Amazon S3.

  4. Scowtt: Check the first files with you

    Scowtt validates the first files with you, then turns on recurring reads.
