Amazon S3

Attribution can deliver your data export to an Amazon S3 bucket. The export holds raw, unattributed data only: filters, visits, spend, conversion events and pageviews, with no model applied. What each table contains is on Data schema.

You need an AWS account and an empty S3 bucket. Keep the bucket for this data alone: the sync has full access to it and may delete files it finds there.

Create the bucket and set its policy

Create a new, empty S3 bucket. Open it in the AWS console, go to the Permissions tab and click Edit under Bucket policy. Paste the policy below, replacing <bucket-name> with the name of your bucket in both resource lines:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "Stmt1441164338000",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:*"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::<bucket-name>",
        "arn:aws:s3:::<bucket-name>/*"
      ],
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": [
          "arn:aws:iam::348454833122:root"
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

The policy gives Attribution full access to the bucket, which the daily upload and the synchronisation of earlier files need.

Set up the export

Open Settings → Data Export, choose Amazon S3 and enter the bucket as a full URL with the s3:// prefix, for example s3://my-attribution-export. A subfolder path is allowed, s3://my-bucket/attribution/. Save, and the first files land with the next daily run.
