Step 1: Setup

Page Summary

• Access to the Partner Portal is granted after approval for an Actions Center Events integration to manage it, with integration setup tasks found under "Onboarding Tasks".

• A public/private SSH key pair must be created for secure sign-in to Google-provided SFTP servers, and the public key needs to be provided to Google in later steps.

• SFTP servers for sandbox and production environments are initialized by entering your public SSH key in the "Onboarding Tasks" tab of the Partner Portal.

• The Google SFTP server can be accessed using any SFTP client with your private key at sftp://partnerupload.google.com on port 19321 for both sandbox and production.

After you are approved for an Actions Center Events integration, you will gain access to Partner Portal to help you manage your integration. To learn more about Partner Portal, reference the partner portal documentation.

Note: Integration setup tasks can be found under Onboarding Tasks for Partner Portal.

Create a SSH public / private key pair

This pair of keys is used to securely sign in to the Google-provided SFTP servers. The public key has the following format:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQCXsM9ycbHV6E6t2L+B4p/uYHn9Q0jmu5gUXMYnFnnf4l39xrznfDo8KCASzRrqUkRnuzrno059CvZVzcljkbwWLzKKoE1EwbzHL3nYahMB4MdYNWhBbHbB+ybq6RNO7hkoKDBIQCfqQDY0FEB6sV3d3F1WYl0bAMjp15yyZJzMKa/rRnZKWetHlcL1X+gFWmW2hQ93foPD463gb58/25GujjsS/tzjngw7UJMVkm08U1QEY3z3DE/R++7ovJozTCzH0CTNDN0AH3/oSC3dmG+yDh3ZXFATjWjyPXJSOziNrp9TXgJhlqSmoHcPvpotMVjx21kIZ+T+SusQmnG+hK+L [e-mail]

Don't include new line breaks in the key.

Key Point: Keep track of your public key. You need to provide it to Google in some of the later steps.

Note: Most Actions Center partners prefer to use the same public / private key pair across all feeds. If you need to use a different key pair for each feed or for each environment, you may change your SSH key after the initial setup steps have been completed, within the Feed Configuration page of the Partner Portal. Refer to the Partner Portal documentation to learn how to change your keys.

Initialize the SFTP servers

Once you sign in to the Partner Portal, perform the following steps:

1. Browse to the Onboarding Tasks tab.
2. Enter your public SSH key.
3. Click Submit.

This creates a set of SFTP servers for both sandbox and production environments for you to use. You can find the SFTP server usernames in the Feed page (documentation) within the Partner Portal.

Note: Use any SFTP client to access to the Google-provided SFTP server. Sign in with the private key you created for this project. The Google SFTP server is available at sftp://partnerupload.google.com on port 19321. This applies to both your sandbox and production servers.

Next steps

At this point, you can grant additional users in your organization access to the Partner Portal. Within the Account and Users page
