# Batch Connection

Batch connection type is a group of connectors used for ingesting data from batch sources. Batch Listener uses the configured Batch Connections in the [Listener Editor](/v1/docs/batch-listener) window.

1. Choose **Batch** from the Connection **Type** dropdown to create a new Batch Connection.
2. Create a unique name for the connection. Give a functional name rather than a development stage name.

> **For Example:** **CustomerDB** rather than DevelopmentDB. It is easier to propagate the connection through multiple environments.

Select the required batch connections environment to create or modify the configuration.

For a new batch connection, the default selection for the Source Connector will be **Amazon S3.** This connection requires the following parameters:

- **Type**
- **S3 Bucket**
- **AWS Secret Access Id**
- **AWS Secret Access Key**
- **AWS Region**: Manual selection for the region is mandatory.

The credential used to create batch connection must have permission to Read, Write, and Delete.

Configured all batch-type connections will be grouped together.
