Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Google Cloud Storage to your Connect AI account:
1
Open the Sources page of the Connect AI navigation menu.
2
Click + Add Connection in the upper-right corner.
3
Type Google Cloud Storage into the search field, then click the data source name.
4
On the Basic Settings tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.
5
In the Project Id field, enter the Id of the project where your Google Cloud Storage instance resides. To find this value, open the Google Cloud Console and click the project name in the upper-left corner. The project Id appears in the ID column of the matching project.
6
Select the Authentication method, then proceed to the relevant section and follow those instructions.

Authentication Methods

1
Click Sign in with Google to connect securely through OAuth. This action opens the Google Cloud Storage sign-in page on a new tab.
2
Log in to your Google Cloud Storage account.
3
At the top of the Connect AI Add Connection page, click Save & Test.
  • If the connection test succeeds, a Connection successfully saved message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the Edit Connection page, in the Data Model tab.
  • If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. Connect AI displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the Sign in button. Correct the errors and try again.
  • Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a Status of Not Authenticated. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
