Fields for this action

• Integration

  • Select your Amazon S3 integration from the options. You may have multiple integrations configured.

• Object key

  • Enter the full name of the object, including a file extension of object path.
    • For example a “whitepaper.pdf” object within the “Catalytic” folder would be Catalytic/whitepaper.pdf. An object at the root level of the bucket would be whitepaper.pdf. The extension is required.
    • Refer to Amazon’s Object Keys if necessary.

• Bucket

  • Identify the name of the Amazon S3 bucket. You can find the bucket name in the Amazon S3 console.

• Signature Version

  • The signature version to sign requests with, such as v3 or v4. Leave blank to default to v4. v4 is the latest and recommended signature version.

• Output Field Prefix

  • To help keep output fields organized, choose an output field prefix to add to the beginning of each output field name as this action may output more than one field.
  • The step’s name is used as the prefix by default.

• Server Side Encryption fields

  • If the object is encrypted with a customer-managed server-side encryption key, fill out the following fields.

• SSE Customer Algorithm

  • Specify the algorithm to use to when decrypting the object, otherwise leave blank.
