Amazon AppFlow support for AfterShip

Amazon AppFlow supports AfterShip as follows.

Supported as a data source?

Yes. You can use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from AfterShip.

Supported as a data destination?

No. You can't use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data to AfterShip.

Before you begin

To use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from AfterShip to supported destinations, you must meet these requirements:

• You have an account with AfterShip that contains the data that you want to transfer. For more information about the AfterShip data objects that Amazon AppFlow supports, see Supported objects.

• In the settings for your account, you've created an API key for Amazon AppFlow. Amazon AppFlow uses the API key to make authenticated calls to your account and securely access your data. For more information, see Get the API key in the AfterShip API Quick Start.

Note the value of your API key. When you connect to your AfterShip account, you provide this value to Amazon AppFlow.

Connecting Amazon AppFlow to your AfterShip account

To connect Amazon AppFlow to your AfterShip account, provide details from your AfterShip account so that Amazon AppFlow can access your data. If you haven't yet configured your AfterShip account for Amazon AppFlow integration, see Before you begin.

Users who run the AfterShip connector for Amazon AppFlow can use one of two API versions:

• If you created your API key after July 7, 2022, select as-api-key. This is the latest version of the key and has additional security features, such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Rivest, Shamir, Adleman (RSA) signatures.

• If you created your API key prior to July 7, 2022, you must select the aftership-api-key. This is a legacy version of the key and doesn't include the additional security features. To use AES or RSA signatures, replace your existing legacy key with a new API key. For more information, see Authentication in the AfterShip API Quick Start.

To connect to AfterShip

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

2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Connections.

3. On the Manage connections page, for Connectors, choose AfterShip.

4. Choose Create connection.

5. In the Connect to AfterShip window, enter the following information:

   • API key – Enter your API key.

   • API secret key – Enter your secret key.

6. 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.

   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.

7. For Connection name, enter a name for your connection.

8. Choose Connect.

9. In the window that appears, sign in to your AfterShip account, and grant access to Amazon AppFlow.

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