Amazon S3 Integration
Process and organize files in Amazon S3 buckets with enterprise-grade scalability. Perfect for data lakes, backup storage, and large-scale file processing workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does renamed.to need access keys to my AWS account?
- No. We use a secure, recommended AWS practice of IAM roles, which means you don't need to share long-lived access keys.
- What AWS regions are supported?
- Our S3 integration can be configured to work with any standard AWS region.
- How does this affect my S3 costs?
- The integration will incur minor costs related to S3 GET/PUT operations and SQS API calls, but these are typically a very small fraction of storage costs.
Before You Connect
- An AWS account with access to S3 and IAM
- An S3 bucket where your files are stored
- Permissions to create IAM roles and configure S3 event notifications
How It Works
Create an IAM role in your AWS account that grants renamed.to secure, limited access to a specific S3 bucket
Configure S3 event notifications to send a message to an SQS queue whenever a new file is uploaded
The renamed.to service reads from this queue, processes the file, and renames it in place within your bucket

Setup Guide
Follow these steps to get started in minutes
Create IAM Role
In your AWS account, create a new IAM role with a trust policy for renamed.to. Attach a policy that grants access to the target S3 bucket.
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": ["s3:GetObject", "s3:PutObject"],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name/*"
}
]
}Configure S3 Event Notification
In your S3 bucket settings, add an event notification that triggers on "All object create events" and sends the notification to an SQS queue.
Connect in renamed.to
In the renamed.to dashboard, go to Integrations → S3. Provide the ARN of the IAM role you created and the URL of the SQS queue.
Apply a Naming Template
Choose the "Auto" template for intelligent naming or specify a custom format for your files.
