Export Analytical Results to BigQuery

You can set up an export of analytics results to BigQuery, which has the overall steps shown below.

Note

LinkedIn clean rooms have the same export functionality as Confidential Computing clean rooms.

Note

  • Partners invited to a clean room must have their export destination connections (grouped under "Destinations") approved by clean room owners. Contact your Customer Success representative to facilitate the approval.

  • The IAM role from LiveRamp Clean Room needs to have write/delete and read access on the customer bucket/folder.

  • Configuring exports outside of a clean room (i.e., at the organization level) is still supported, but will be deprecated. Setting up clean room question exports within a clean room is recommended.

  • Exports cannot be edited or deleted. Changes should be made by pausing the export and creating a new export.
