Introduction

The AWS S3 integration for Botpress empowers your chatbot to manage cloud storage. Create, list, and delete S3 buckets, and handle files directly through your chatbot. This integration is ideal for automating cloud workflows.

AWS S3 Setup & Configuration

Prerequisites

Before enabling the Botpress AWS S3 Integration, please ensure that you have the following:

• A Botpress server instance set up either locally or in the cloud.
• AWS credentials with permissions to access S3 services.

Enable Integration

To enable the AWS S3 integration in Botpress, follow these steps:

1. Access your Botpress admin panel.
2. Navigate to the “Integrations” section.
3. Locate the AWS S3 integration and click on “Enable” or “Configure.”
4. Provide the required accessKeyId, secretAccessKey, and region.
5. Save the configuration.

Actions

Here are the actions supported by the AWS S3 integration:

Create Bucket

Create a new S3 bucket.

Delete Bucket

Delete an existing S3 bucket.

Copy Object

Copy an object from one S3 bucket to another.

Delete Bucket Policy

Delete the policy associated with an S3 bucket.

Delete Bucket Website

List Objects V2

Upload Object

List Buckets

4. Data Migration

   • Copy objects from one bucket to another for data migration purposes.
   • Use the Copy Object action to copy files from a source bucket to a destination bucket.
   • Use the List Buckets and List Objects V2 actions to verify the migration.

5. Cleanup Operations
