# CircleCI connector for Amazon AppFlow
CircleCI

CircleCI is a continuous integration and continuous delivery platform. If you're a CircleCI user, your account contains data about your projects, pipelines, workflows, and more. You can use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from CircleCI to certain AWS services or other supported applications.

## Amazon AppFlow support for CircleCI


Amazon AppFlow supports CircleCI as follows.

**Supported as a data source?**  
Yes. You can use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from CircleCI.

**Supported as a data destination?**  
No. You can't use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data to CircleCI.

## Before you begin


To use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from CircleCI to supported destinations, you must meet these requirements:
+ You have an account with CircleCI that contains the data that you want to transfer. For more information about the CircleCI data objects that Amazon AppFlow supports, see [Supported objects](#circleci-objects).
+ In the user settings for your account, you've created a personal API token. For the steps to do this, see [Creating a personal API token](https://circleci.com/docs/managing-api-tokens/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=sem&utm_campaign=sem-google-dg--uscan-en-dsa-maxConv-auth-nb&utm_term=g_-_c__dsa_&utm_content=&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4OybBhCzARIsAIcfn9lS-1gBgq0NRzEsA_b20-dhUG8aEHQqIu9wdXFEhSfg0kHsXEhufi8aAtPGEALw_wcB#creating-a-personal-api-token) in the CircleCI Docs site.

You provide the personal API token to Amazon AppFlow in the settings for your CircleCI connection.

## Connecting Amazon AppFlow to your CircleCI account
Connecting to CircleCI

To connect Amazon AppFlow to your CircleCI account, provide your personal API token so that Amazon AppFlow can access your data. If you haven't yet configured your CircleCI account for Amazon AppFlow integration, see [Before you begin](#circleci-prereqs).

**To connect to CircleCI**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon AppFlow console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/).

1. In the navigation pane on the left, choose **Connections**.

1. On the **Manage connections** page, for **Connectors**, choose **CircleCI**.

1. Choose **Create connection**.

1. In the **Connect to CircleCI** window, for **CircleCI Token**, enter the personal API token from the user settings of your CircleCI account

1. Optionally, under **Data encryption**, choose **Customize encryption settings (advanced)** if you want to encrypt your data with a customer managed key in the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).

   By default, Amazon AppFlow encrypts your data with a KMS key that AWS creates, uses, and manages for you. Choose this option if you want to encrypt your data with your own KMS key instead.

   Amazon AppFlow always encrypts your data during transit and at rest. For more information, see [Data protection in Amazon AppFlow](data-protection.md).

   If you want to use a KMS key from the current AWS account, select this key under **Choose an AWS KMS key**. If you want to use a KMS key from a different AWS account, enter the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for that key.

1. For **Connection name**, enter a name for your connection.

1. Choose **Connect**.

On the **Manage connections** page, your new connection appears in the **Connections** table. When you create a flow that uses CircleCI as the data source, you can select this connection.

## Transferring data from CircleCI with a flow
