Hello I want to transfer data to Google Cloud storage GCP using Alteryx designer but its not possible using simple output tool, I got to know there is tool Google Cloud storage tool in  Alteryx designer itself but I cant see that. Is there anyone who knows about it and can share output tool with configuration how to transfer to GCP table.

 

I have made connection required but not able to create table it has error while posting data to GCP 

Thanks AK

Designer, unfortunately, I don't have access to GCP so I can't upload a workflow, try the data input way/the in db way, let me know how you get on

 

 

Try this page

@indakath insert a green data input, press use DCM, then set up connection, then click on data sources and then scroll to big query

Assuming you have authenticated to your GCP project locally - use a formula tool to script GCP cli into a .bat file. Use a run command tool to execute your .bat file. Add parameters to your formula tool for filename/bucket. You MUST create your file locally first.

 

Your syntax should be something like: 

gsutil cp *.txt gs://my-bucket
