Managing S3 Data Uploads in Campfire

Campfire provides an S3 Data Exports page that allows users with an existing S3 connection to view export activity and manually trigger uploads of Campfire data to Amazon S3.

This page is intended to give users visibility into when data was last pushed to S3 and control over when new uploads occur.

Accessing S3 Data Exports

To access the S3 Data Exports screen:

Your Settings → Connections → Data → S3

Only users with an existing S3 connection will see this option.

S3 Data Exports Overview

The S3 Data Exports page lists all supported data types that can be exported from Campfire to S3.

Each row represents a specific data type, such as:

  • GL Transactions

  • Bills

  • Invoices

  • Revenue Transactions

  • Trial Balances

  • Journal Entries

  • Vendors

  • Bank Transactions

For each data type, the table displays:

  • Auto-run Daily – Indicates whether the export runs automatically once per day

  • Status – Current upload state (e.g., Done, In Progress)

  • Last Run – Timestamp of the most recent successful upload

Triggering a Manual S3 Upload

Users can manually trigger an S3 upload for supported data types.

To start a manual upload:

  1. Select one or more data types using the checkboxes

  2. Click Sync Selected in the top-right corner

  3. The upload begins immediately if no other upload is currently running

Manual uploads allow changes made in Campfire to be reflected in S3 without waiting for the daily scheduled export.

Upload Behavior and Constraints

The following rules apply to S3 exports:

  • Only one export per export type can run at a time

    • Example: Only one Invoices export can run at a given time

  • Multiple different export types can run concurrently

    • Example: Bills, Invoices, and GL Transactions exports can run at the same time

  • If an export for a specific type is already in progress, that same export type cannot be triggered again until it completes

  • Scheduled daily exports continue to run independently for all enabled export types

Availability and Scope

This functionality is available only to customers with an existing S3 connection configured in Campfire.

Self-service S3 connection setup is not currently supported.
