Step 1: Go to the integrations page

  1. In Integrations, click New Integration.
  2. Select GCP.
  3. On the setup page, type your integration name and your GCP bucket name.
  4. You can add the integration to a selected team or multiple teams. The integration will be available in the selected team(s) only. Note that this step is optional. If you don’t select a team, then the integration won’t be added to any team. You can always add the integration to a team from the Integrations list.

❗️

Adding or removing a team allows or restricts access to the data related to this integration.
