# Taxi and the Google Cloud connector

If we don’t have a connector to your ESP or you use your own internal tools and systems for sending emails you can use our GCP connector. This enables you to export to a Google Cloud bucket so you can get the HTML from Taxi ready to be sent thus reducing risk and saving you time throughout the export process. You can create new files in GCP or update existing ones.

Using the connector means you won’t have to manually download the HTML and upload or paste into your own systems or ESP. You can export directly out of Taxi at the click of a button meaning a more seamless email creation process. This automation and reduced number of manual steps means there is less risk of errors, so you can be confident in last-minute content changes.

The GCP connector also makes it much easier to create and export targeted emails. The power of Taxi’s [personalisation](https://docs.messagebird.com/taxi/Dynamic%20content,%20segmentation%20and%20personalisation/Personalisation/what-is-personalisation) and [segmentation](https://docs.messagebird.com/taxi/Dynamic%20content,%20segmentation%20and%20personalisation/Segmentation/what-is-segmentation) features can be used with this connector.
