Send files to a Scowtt-managed bucket

If your team doesn't run Google Cloud, or your tool writes files out (Snowflake, Adobe Analytics Data Feeds and similar), Scowtt can provide the bucket. Your tool gets upload access to one folder, and Scowtt never needs access to your systems.

How it works: Scowtt sends you a bucket and folder. You point your tool at it and send Scowtt the identity your tool creates. Scowtt grants it upload access and checks the files with you.

Before you start

Admin access in the tool that will write the files.
The bucket and folder path from your Scowtt team, plus a Google Cloud project ID if your tool needs one (Adobe does).

Steps

You: Tell your Scowtt team which tool will write the files

Let your Scowtt team know which tool will write the files and what data it will send.
Scowtt: Send your bucket and folder

Your Scowtt team sends the bucket and folder path, plus a Google Cloud project ID if your tool needs one.
You: Set up the destination in your tool

Use that path. Most tools want the bucket name on its own, without gs://, with the folder entered separately.
You: Send Scowtt your tool's writer identity

After you set up the destination, your tool shows an address that looks like an email. Snowflake calls it a storage integration service account, and Adobe calls it a Principal. It's an identity, not a password.
Scowtt: Grant upload access

Scowtt grants that identity upload access to your folder and tells you when it's in place.
You: Start the export

Send history first, then turn on the recurring schedule.
Scowtt: Check the files with you

Scowtt confirms files arrived and checks them with you. If any fields need fixing, or Scowtt needs definitions for custom fields, your Scowtt team sends the specifics.

Good to know

Follow the data format standards for formats, folders and file names, and send updates at least 4 times a day, ideally hourly.
Tool-specific steps: Export data from Snowflake and Share Adobe Analytics data through a Data Feed.
To stop sharing, stop the export, or ask your Scowtt team to remove your tool's upload access.
