Enable User Profile Exports (Optional)link

To sync the USER and USER_ALIAS tables, you must use the Enable User Profile Exports toggle in the connector setup form. You can choose either:

• Amazon S3: You must provide an S3 bucket to which Braze will write the User export files.
• No Export Storage: Braze will use their S3 storage and provide Fivetran with a link to the export files.

We recommend that you configure your own S3 bucket. You can either:

• Use the same S3 bucket you used for the Currents
• Use a different S3 bucket

To use your S3 bucket, do the following:

1. Log in to the Braze dashboard.

2. In the left menu, click Technology Partners.

3. On the Technology Partners page, select Amazon S3 Cloud Storage.

   

4. In the Data Export using AWS Credentials section, make a note of the Role ARN, AWS S3 Bucket Name, and AWS S3 Bucket Folder details. You will need them to configure Fivetran.

6. (Optional) Set the Enable User Profile Exports toggle to Enabled, and then choose your Export Storage. If you select Amazon S3, enter the details you found in Step 6.

7. Click Save & Test. Fivetran will take it from here and sync your data from your Braze account.
