Via S3

OVERVIEW

NotifyVisitors enables you to import events and users' data through the AWS S3 import feature. You can import the data from your AWS S3 bucket to NotifyVisitors.

Configure S3 bucket in AWS

You can configure the AWS S3 feature to import data for all or any specific events.

A. Create AWS S3 bucket

• Firstly, you are required to create an AWS S3 bucket. For that, you should create an account in the same
  region as the NotifyVisitors data hosting region.

• Next, log in to your AWS account and search for S3 in the AWS services box.

• Enter the bucket name and other settings.

B. Create API key for S3 bucket

Once the bucket is created, create an AWS API Key to import data to the S3 bucket. Now, click on your account (AWS)name and navigate to security credentials.

C. Create a policy

Follow the below steps to create a policy in your AWS account.

• Click on the “add users” in your account.

• Add the user name.

• Choose the access type and click “add user” to the group.

• Enter the group name and create a policy.

• Click on the JSON tab.

• Add the following JSON in the box below and replace “NotifyVisitors-Example” with the name of the S3
  bucket which you created above. The permissions you specified in the policy will allow NotifyVisitors to catch all the necessary information about the bucket.

                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:DeleteObject"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3::: bucket_name/*"
        }
    ]
}

• Upload the JSON file and click on the REVIEW button.

D. Get access to the credentials

• Once you create the policy, you need to follow the below steps to get access to the credentials to upload a file to S3 bucket.

• Navigate to the GROUP PAGE and assign the policy you just created to the NEW GROUP and click on the CREATE GROUP further.

• You will now be navigated to the “add a user to the group” page. Click on the review button and create the USER.

• Clicking on CREATE THE USER will land you on the next page and you can receive the credentials for ACCESS KEY ID and SECRET ACCESS KEY.
