Connect Google Cloud Storage

Connect a Google Cloud Storage bucket you own so Greenpixie can read your input data and write the enriched file to output.

Greenpixie connects through a Service Account that resides in the Greenpixie environment, and you grant that service account access on your bucket. These steps set up a single bucket. If you want separate buckets for input and output, follow them twice.

Create a bucket

Create or select an existing Google Cloud Storage bucket to use for input and output data. See the Google Cloud guide to creating a bucket.

Bucket name

Your bucket name should include your company or team name where possible.

For example, if your company name is ABC, abc-billing-data.

Bucket settings

Set the following on the bucket:

• Storage class set to Standard
• Enforce public access prevention on this bucket
• Uniform access control
• A soft-delete policy with "Use default retention duration"

Grant Greenpixie access

Your Greenpixie contact will provide a Service Account email address in the format shown below.

{customer-name}@client-data-access.iam.gserviceaccount.com

On your GCS bucket, grant this service account the role it needs, depending on whether the bucket holds input or output data:

• For input data, grant Cloud Storage > Storage Object Viewer.
• For output data, grant Cloud Storage > Storage Object User.

Details to send Greenpixie

Send your GCS bucket name to your Greenpixie contact.

Next steps

Once connected, Greenpixie enriches your data daily between 01:00 and 04:00 UTC, processing the month-to-date. Your Greenpixie contact will confirm the connection and the enrichment cadence.
