GCP event file configuration tutorial

This article steps you through configuring Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for event file notification delivery. This requires you to create two things in GCP:

  1. Google Cloud project – A project is a set of configuration settings that define how your app interacts with Google services and what resources it uses.

  2. GCP Bucket – A bucket is a container for storing your data. Everything that you store in Cloud Storage must be stored in a bucket.

For this tutorial, you need

  • Google Cloud account
