--- title: "GCP Secret Manager Sync" description: "Learn how to configure a GCP Secret Manager Sync for Infisical." --- **Prerequisites:** - Set up and add secrets to [Infisical Cloud](https://app.infisical.com) - Create a [GCP Connection](/integrations/app-connections/gcp) with the required **Secret Sync** permissions - Enable **Cloud Resource Manager API**, **Secret Manager API**, and **Service Usage API** on your GCP project ![Secret Syncs Tab](/images/secret-syncs/gcp-secret-manager/enable-resource-manager-api.png) ![Secret Syncs Tab](/images/secret-syncs/gcp-secret-manager/enable-secret-manager-api.png) ![Secret Syncs Tab](/images/secret-syncs/gcp-secret-manager/enable-service-usage-api.png) - Ensure your network security policies allow incoming requests from Infisical to this secret sync provider, if network restrictions apply. 1. Navigate to **Project** > **Integrations** and select the **Secret Syncs** tab. Click on the **Add Sync** button. ![Secret Syncs Tab](/images/secret-syncs/general/secret-sync-tab.png) 2. Select the **GCP Secret Manager** option. ![Select GCP Secret Manager](/images/secret-syncs/gcp-secret-manager/select-gcp-secret-manager-option.png) 3. Configure the **Source** from where secrets should be retrieved, then click **Next**. ![Configure Source](/images/secret-syncs/gcp-secret-manager/gcp-secret-manager-source.png) - **Environment**: The project environment to retrieve secrets from. - **Secret Path**: The folder path to retrieve secrets from. If you need to sync secrets from multiple folder locations, check out [secret imports](/documentation/platform/secret-reference#secret-imports). 4. Configure the **Destination** to where secrets should be deployed, then click **Next**. ![Configure Destination](/images/secret-syncs/gcp-secret-manager/gcp-secret-manager-destination.png) - **GCP Connection**: The GCP Connection to authenticate with. - **Project**: The GCP project to sync with. - **Scope**: The GCP project scope that secrets should be synced to: - **Global**: Secrets will be synced globally; available to all project regions. - **Region**: Secrets will be synced to the specified region. 5. Configure the **Sync Options** to specify how secrets should be synced, then click **Next**. ![Configure Options](/images/secret-syncs/gcp-secret-manager/gcp-secret-manager-options.png) - **Initial Sync Behavior**: Determines how Infisical should resolve the initial sync. - **Overwrite Destination Secrets**: Removes any secrets at the destination endpoint not present in Infisical. - **Import Secrets (Prioritize Infisical)**: Imports secrets from the destination endpoint before syncing, prioritizing values from Infisical over GCP Secret Manager when keys conflict. - **Import Secrets (Prioritize GCP Secret Manager)**: Imports secrets from the destination endpoint before syncing, prioritizing values from GCP Secret Manager over Infisical when keys conflict. - **Key Schema**: Template that determines how secret names are transformed when syncing, using `{{secretKey}}` as a placeholder for the original secret name and `{{environment}}` for the environment. We highly recommend using a Key Schema to ensure that Infisical only manages the specific keys you intend, keeping everything else untouched. - **Auto-Sync Enabled**: If enabled, secrets will automatically be synced from the source location when changes occur. Disable to enforce manual syncing only. - **Disable Secret Deletion**: If enabled, Infisical will not remove secrets from the sync destination. Enable this option if you intend to manage some secrets manually outside of Infisical. 6. Configure the **Details** of your GCP Secret Manager Sync, then click **Next**. ![Configure Details](/images/secret-syncs/gcp-secret-manager/gcp-secret-manager-details.png) - **Name**: The name of your sync. Must be slug-friendly. - **Description**: An optional description for your sync. 7. Review your Secret Manager Sync configuration, then click **Create Sync**. ![Confirm Configuration](/images/secret-syncs/gcp-secret-manager/gcp-secret-manager-review.png) 8. If enabled, your GCP Secret Manager Sync will begin syncing your secrets to the destination endpoint. ![Sync Secrets](/images/secret-syncs/gcp-secret-manager/gcp-secret-manager-created.png) To create a **GCP Secret Manager Sync**, make an API request to the [Create GCP Secret Manager Sync](/api-reference/endpoints/secret-syncs/gcp-secret-manager/create) API endpoint. ### Sample request ```bash Request curl --request POST \ --url https://app.infisical.com/api/v1/secret-syncs/gcp-secret-manager \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "destinationConfig": { "scope": "global", "projectId": "infisical-test-playground" }, "name": "my-gcp-sync", "description": "this is an example secret sync", "secretPath": "/", "syncOptions": { "initialSyncBehavior": "overwrite-destination" }, "isAutoSyncEnabled": true, "connectionId": "eec83609-5eb4-4d8d-9f6e-ded016984f0d", "environment": "dev", "projectId": "09eda1f8-85a3-47a9-8a6f-e27f133b2a36" }' ``` ### Sample response ```bash Response { "secretSync": { "id": "aee02c4a-4a5f-488c-82dd-0b3164772871", "name": "my-gcp-sync", "description": "this is an example secret sync", "isAutoSyncEnabled": true, "version": 1, "projectId": "09eda1f8-85a3-47a9-8a6f-e27f133b2a36", "folderId": "1447389e-16fb-49ba-96fd-361b5a2522af", "connectionId": "eec83609-5eb4-4d8d-9f6e-ded016984f0d", "createdAt": "2025-01-27T12:28:59.408Z", "updatedAt": "2025-01-27T12:28:59.408Z", "syncStatus": "pending", "lastSyncJobId": null, "lastSyncMessage": null, "lastSyncedAt": null, "importStatus": null, "lastImportJobId": null, "lastImportMessage": null, "lastImportedAt": null, "removeStatus": null, "lastRemoveJobId": null, "lastRemoveMessage": null, "lastRemovedAt": null, "syncOptions": { "initialSyncBehavior": "overwrite-destination" }, "connection": { "app": "gcp", "name": "my-gcp-connection", "id": "eec83609-5eb4-4d8d-9f6e-ded016984f0d" }, "environment": { "slug": "dev", "name": "Development", "id": "124e0392-4070-4b1c-900e-ced30cd55bf3" }, "folder": { "id": "1447389e-16fb-49ba-96fd-361b5a2522af", "path": "/" }, "destination": "gcp-secret-manager", "destinationConfig": { "projectId": "infisical-test-playground" } } } ```
