How to setup a Google Cloud Storage connection

You can add a new connection whether it's your first or you're adding to existing ones.

1. Choose how to start:

   1. If this is your first connection:

      1. Go to the Available connections tab

      2. Hover over the Google Cloud Storage tile

      3. Click Setup

   2. If you already have connections:

      1. Go to the Active connections tab

      2. Hover over the Google Cloud Storage tile

      3. Click Manage Connections

      4. A table will open showing all configured connections for that integration

      5. Click Add new connection

2. You'll be taken to the Add Google Cloud Storage Connection page

3. Give your connection a clear, descriptive name so you can easily recognize it later

   1. For example:  MarketingReports_S3_EU

4.  Enter the name of your Google Cloud Storage bucket where files will be read or written

   1. You can find this in the Google Cloud Storage Console under Storage → Browser

5. Optional: Enter a bucket path

   1. This is a folder or subfolder path to organize your files

   2. For example: walkme_exports/daily_reports

   3. If left blank, files will be stored at the root level of the bucket

6. Upload your Google Cloud Storage service account key file (.json)

   1. This file authenticates WalkMe to access your Google Cloud Storage bucket

   2. This file is generated when creating a service account in your Google Cloud IAM console

   3. Ensure the service account has Storage Object Admin or equivalent permissions

7. Click Test Connection to validate that your connection works

   1. If the test is successful, you'll see a confirmation message

   2. If there's an issue, you'll get an error message with steps to fix it

8. Click Save
