In the first step, you configure your warehouse by providing endpoint details of your Data Warehouse.

Refer to individual [Cloud Data Warehouse](https://docs.sprinkledata.com/product/integrating-your-data/destination-warehouses) pages for details on the fields in the form. The integration document has also been integrated alongside on the UI for you to refer.

**Test Connection**: It tests if a connection can be established with the warehouse endpoint provided. Clicking the button also shows the status, Failed or Passed.

**Test & Save**: This button tests the warehouse connection as well as saves the warehouse endpoints provided.

#### :digit\_two: Add Storage

Here you can provide details of your storage bucket to be associated with the warehouse configured. Test Connection and Test & Save buttons have similar functionality as discussed above.
