Integrating your S3 storage with Flexito OmniAI offers seamless file management and enhanced data security. By connecting these platforms, you can ensure your data is safely stored in your S3 bucket, even during service outages, while maintaining smooth operations within your Flexito OmniAI flows.
Simple Storage Service, commonly known as S3, is a data storage solution offered by various cloud providers like AWS, where it's referred to as S3 buckets. S3 is renowned for its ease of integration and automatic data management, which eliminates the need for manual database management.
Connecting Flexito OmniAI with S3 Storage
Begin by accessing your S3 dashboard and creating a new bucket.
Ensure the bucket you create has read/write permissions and is set as a public bucket.
.
In the "App Keys" section of the side menu, you can add a new application key. Make sure it has read and write permissions.
Once you've created the key, save or copy the details for later use.
Within the Flexito OmniAI dashboard, navigate to the Integration section and select the S3 storage option.
Fill in the details related to your bucket in the provided fields, click save, and your S3 storage will be integrated with Flexito OmniAI.
Note that there is a global restriction on uploading files larger than 5MB.
Using S3 Storage in Flexito OmniAI
Once integrated, S3 storage replaces Flexito OmniAI's default storage server. This means every file, such as images, videos, PDFs, and other media, will be directly uploaded to your S3 bucket instead of Flexito OmniAI’s server.
This setup ensures your data remains secure even if Flexito OmniAI experiences an outage, allowing your workflows to continue uninterrupted.
For example, you can create a Send Message node and upload an image using the Rich Media feature.
After uploading, save the flow and publish it.
Click on the node again to view the URL of the image you uploaded.
You'll notice that the image URL has changed from Flexito OmniAI’s default server URI to your S3 bucket URL.
Thus, after integration, all your files will be uploaded directly to your S3 bucket.
