Overview

AWS Cognito is a user identity and data synchronization service that provides authentication, authorization, and user management for your web and mobile apps. You can use SkyPoint's built-in connector for importing data from AWS Cognito.

This document will guide you through the process of connecting AWS Cognito to Skypoint's Modern Data Stack Platform.

Prerequisite

You will need the following details to configure and import data using AWS Cognito:

• AWS account
• User Pool ID
• Access key ID
• Secret access key.

❕ Note: You can refer to the InforHMS Set up Guide document to learn more about the Prerequisites.

Import Data using AWS Cognito connector

Follow the below steps to create a new dataflow for the Cognito connector:

1. In the left pane, go to Dataflow > Imports.

The Dataflow window appears.
