**Platform Connectors**

Forward internal events from Confidence to your system.

Platform connectors forward internal events to your system. The events could, for example, be `MetricCalculationCompleted` or `WorkflowInstanceCreated`.

**Pub/Sub**

Export platform events of a configurable type to a Google Pub/Sub topic.

### Required GCP Roles

* Pub/Sub Editor

### Configuration

* **Event Type** - The Event type to export to the stream
* **Project** - The GCP project that the topic exists in.
* **Service account** - A GCP service account that has publish permissions to the configured topic. Configure the account so that the Confidence service account can impersonate it.
* **Topic** - The name of the topic
* **Output format** - If the connector should write the events in JSON or Protobuf binary format. Regardless of the format chosen, the connector wraps the event in a [CloudEvents](https://cloudevents.io/) envelope.

**Kinesis**

Export platform events of a configurable type to a Kinesis stream.

### Required AWS Permissions

* `kinesis:PutRecord`

* **Role ARN** - The ARN for the AWS Role that has read and write access to the Kinesis stream.
* **Region** - The AWS region the Kinesis stream exists in
* **Stream** - The Kinesis stream name.
* **Output format** - If the connector should write the events in JSON or Protobuf binary format. Regardless of the format chosen, the connector wraps the event in a [CloudEvents](https://cloudevents.io/) envelope.
