# Salesforce Marketing Cloud Import Integration Via AWS S3

Import Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) data such as contact information and campaign event data to the Treasure Data platform to unlock actionable insights and enable advanced customer segmentation to drive personalized customer engagements. There are a few ways to integrate data from SFMC into the TD Console:

- Via the native import connector for SFMC: see [here](/int/salesforce-marketing-cloud-import-integration-v2) for details of the supported data objects
- Via intermediate storage locations: both SFMC and the TD Console support various options for file-based integrations from an SFTP server to public cloud storage such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Microsoft Azure Blob Storage


This article provides the guidelines for using AWS S3 as an intermediate storage to integrate data from SFMC into the TD Console

## Prerequisites

- Administrative permissions to view and manage File Locations on the SFMC platform
- Access keys for an AWS S3 bucket which has relevant permissions for uploading files


## Setting Up the Integration

1. Select the **Setup** menu item under your Profile on the SFMC platform
