# 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

4. Send the information to Pismo.

   After you create your GCP bucket, you need to send the following info to Pismo:

   * The GCP Project ID
   * The GCP Bucket Name

   In the following image, the project ID is "pismo-integration-project", and the bucket name is "my\_pismo\_file\_bucket".

5. Pismo will create the necessary resources and send you a GCP IAM Service Account ID that you can use to give Pismo permission to send files to the bucket.

**Give Pismo permission to send files**

1. Go to the GCP bucket that you created.

2. Select the **Permissions** tab and click **+Add**.
