Google Cloud Storage

The Google Cloud Storage modules enable you to monitor and publish messages or create, update, retrieve, and delete topics and subscriptions in your Google Cloud Storage.

Getting Started with Google Cloud Storage

Prerequisites

In order to use Google Cloud Storage with Integromat, it is necessary to have a Google account. If you do not have one, you can create a Google Cloud Storage account at accounts.google.com.

The module dialog fields that are displayed in bold (in the Integromat scenario, not in this documentation article) are mandatory!
