# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bird.com/taxi/connectors/google-cloud-platform-gcp/taxi-and-the-google-cloud-connector.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
