What is AWS S3?

AWS S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an industry-leading cloud storage platform used by businesses to store, secure, and retrieve any amount of data. Integrating AWS S3 with Konnectify allows your teams to automatically trigger workflows when new files are uploaded, manage storage buckets on the fly, and keep your cloud data synchronized with your other business systems without manual file transfers.

API & Authentication

How Konnectify Connects with AWS S3

Konnectify connects securely to your AWS S3 account using standard AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management) credentials. By providing your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key, you authorize Konnectify to securely perform actions (such as uploading files or checking bucket structures) on your behalf without exposing your root AWS account details.

To secure your integration, we highly recommend creating a dedicated programmatic IAM User in your AWS console with specific S3 permissions (such as AmazonS3FullAccess or custom scoped policies) rather than using your root account credentials.

Important Security Note:

Make sure your IAM User policy permits actions like s3:PutObject, s3:GetObject, and s3:ListBucket for the specific buckets you intend to use with Konnectify.

For detailed configuration options, view the official AWS S3 Documentation.

How to Connect

Prerequisites:

An active AWS account with an IAM User that has programmatic access keys (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key) and permissions to manage S3 resources.

Add AWS S3 to a Workflow

Navigate to the Konnectify Workflow Builder, add a new step, and select AWS S3 from the app directory.

Authorize with AWS IAM Credentials

Enter your AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key when prompted. Select your Default Region (e.g., us-east-1) from the dropdown list to direct Konnectify to your specific data center location.

Configure the Trigger or Action

Select the S3 bucket, table, or namespace you want to target. Use dynamic mapping to align files or metadata from previous workflow steps.

Configuration Warning:

Always verify that the bucket name matches AWS's naming requirements. Bucket names must be lowercase and contain no spaces.

Test the Workflow

Click 'Test Step' to execute a sample run. Konnectify will attempt to connect to your AWS S3 bucket to confirm that your credentials and permissions are correctly configured.

Activate the Workflow

Once the test passes, toggle your workflow to 'Active'. Konnectify will now run this automation continuously in the background.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I generate IAM Access Keys for AWS S3? ▾

Log into your AWS Management Console, navigate to the IAM (Identity and Access Management) dashboard, and create a programmatic IAM user. Generate access keys under the 'Security credentials' tab, ensuring the user has the 'AmazonS3FullAccess' policy or customized S3 permissions attached.

What AWS S3 plans are supported? ▾

All AWS S3 accounts and pricing tiers are fully supported. Since AWS S3 operates on a usage-based pricing model, Konnectify integrations work across any standard bucket configuration without requiring a premium AWS tier.

How fast does the 'New Or Updated Object' trigger detect new files? ▾

This trigger uses a secure polling mechanism to check your designated Amazon S3 bucket for new or modified files. The polling interval is determined by your Konnectify plan, automatically fetching updates as soon as they are detected.

Can I copy files between different AWS regions? ▾

Yes. The 'Copy Object' action allows you to duplicate files between S3 buckets even if they reside in different AWS regions, as long as your connected IAM credentials have permission to access both buckets.

How are S3 Tables different from standard S3 buckets? ▾

Standard S3 buckets are designed for unstructured file storage (like PDFs, images, or backups). S3 Tables use high-performance analytical storage frameworks optimized for structured tabular data, which you can manage using our Table actions.

Can I connect multiple AWS accounts to Konnectify? ▾

Yes, you can create and save multiple AWS S3 connections in Konnectify. Simply use distinct IAM Access Keys for each account and select the appropriate connection when building your workflows.
