How to Set Up Amazon S3 Data Ingestion?

Step 1. Create a New Flat Data Ingestion request using Improvado Service Desk:

• provide us with the required details about this integration by filling out all the request fields
• make sure you have attached an example of the data table you want to see
• indicate the update logic you want for your table:
  - append (new data rows are added to the end of the table)
  - incremental (records get modified, but the old data is saved too)
  - snapshot (overwriting of all the data each time)
• explain your S3 folder structure.

Step 2. Get a confirmation from Improvado whether we can ingest your data or instructions on what needs to be changed in order to make it possible.

Step 3. Set up access:

• ‍In case you want to use the Improavado S3 bucket
  - we can grant you access to our S3 bucket in the us-east-1 region, create a bucket for your company and provide access keys.
• In case you want us to load data from your S3 bucket
  - we will need you to provide us with your access keys.

Step 4. Send test data to a pre-determined destination

‍Step 5. We will confirm whether we have successfully loaded your data

Step 6. Schedule reports from your data platform

‍IMPORTANT: ‍

• After the integration is set up, field name/order, header, and data type changes are available. Submit a Change Flat Data Ingestion request via Improvado Service Desk to inform us about your needed changes.
• Adding a new column to an existing integration is not available. You must submit a New Flat Data Integration request to ingest a file with additional columns.
