At this step, you are asked to select the required data targets and fine-tune the schedule for running the connector.

1. Select the required data targets

1. Specify the Google Cloud project where the data for this connector will be stored.

Keep in mind that the Google Cloud project needs to be connected to Alvie before you can start using it with connectors. You can learn more about how to connect a Google Cloud project here.

Simply select the required value from the dropdown:

2. Specify the BigQuery output dataset ID. This is the table where the data will be stored. If the table does not exist, it will be created automatically for you.

Simply enter a value in the field or select one of the existing datasets from the list.

Please keep in mind that the name must adhere to the rules for naming a BigQuery dataset, which are explained here.

2. Select the desired schedule

By default, connectors run daily, but you can select a different frequency from the dropdown menu.

The schedule determines how often data is sent to BigQuery tables. Here's what it means:

  • Daily: Data is sent every day at 7 AM CEST.

  • Weekly: Data is sent every Monday at 7 AM CEST.

  • Monthly: Data is sent on the first day of each month at 7 AM CEST.
