# Configuring the connector for a CRM with Amazon S3 integration
**Important**
Starting in 2024, AWS Partner Central made this integration type unavailable to new users.
**Note**
The topics in this section assume you've completed the prerequisites for an AWS Partner Central integration, an AWS Marketplace integration, or both. For more information, refer to [Integration prerequisites](crm-integration-setting-up.md) and [Getting started](crm-integration-getting-started.md) earlier in this guide.
The deprecated CRM with Amazon S3 integration uses an Amazon S3 bucket to transfer leads and opportunities . We recommend using the Partner Central API integration as shown in the previous section to create and manage opportunities. However, you can use this configuration if you want to use the connector to manage leads in Salesforce.

## Entering connection authentication details
Partners start the integration process by entering the details needed to connect to their Amazon S3 endpoint. Follow each set of steps in the order listed, and complete each set before proceeding to the next one.
The following tasks are performed from the **AWS guided setup** tab. For information about using the tab, refer to [Using guided setup](use-guided-setup.md) earlier in this guide.
**To enter the authentication details**

If the connection succeeds, you receive a confirmation message.
## Sending and receiving opportunities and leads
You send and receive opportunities and leads by synchronizing them with Partner Central. To synchronize an opportunity or lead, you must set the **Sync with Partner Central** field to **True**. Additional key fields for integration include the **Last APN Sync Date** and the **Eligible to Sync with APN** fields.
These fields are included for standard opportunities and leads. However, you must create and map them for any custom source objects.
+ **Sync with Partner Central** – Included in the app for standard opportunities and leads. If a AWS Partner chooses to map to custom objects, a custom boolean field must be created and mapped in the opportunity and lead mappings, respectively.
+ **Last Sync Date with APN** – Indicates the last time the record was successfully sent to or received from APN. This field is autoset when the record is successfully sent to APN or an update is received from APN.
+ **Eligible to Sync with APN** – A formula field that determines if the record is targeted to be sent to APN in the next scheduled job. Calculated based on whether the record was modified since the last time the outbound schedule ran, and it was updated by a user other than the designated integration user for the AWS Partner's organization.
