On the Data sources page, click Connect, and select AWS API in the Data sources list.
Paste the Access key ID and Secret access key ID you've created before.
Configure the region where you want to create your bucket, for example, us-west-2.
For the AWS service name, use s3.
Click Test connection to check whether the data source can be connected, and then click Connect Datasource.
Once the action is configured, you can execute it and check if the S3 bucket was created.
Once your datasource is configured, you can go to your project and open the actions panel. There, create a new action of the type and select the datasource you configured in the previous step.
According to , in order to create an S3 bucket, you need to send a PUT request to https://<your-new-bucket-name>.s3.<your-aws-region>.amazonaws.com with the body containing the following XML (replace LocationConstraint contents with your region):
You can set the bucket name dynamically in the URL field based on the value of some input. For more information, refer to .
