### Steps to Connect to BigQuery

1. **Access Connections**: Start by navigating to the 'Connections' tab on the left side of your Airbook interface.
2. **Add BigQuery Connection**: In the 'Databases' section, find and click on the BigQuery icon.
3. **Configure Connection**:
   * **Name**: Enter a name for the connection to help identify it later.
   * **Description**: Optionally provide a description of what this connection will be used for.
   * **Project ID**: Enter the Google Cloud Project ID where your BigQuery dataset is hosted.
   * **Service Account JSON**: Provide the JSON key file associated with your service account. This account should have the necessary permissions to access the BigQuery data.
4. **Submit**: After filling in all the necessary fields, click 'Submit' to establish the connection.

### Finalizing the Connection

Once submitted, Airbook will validate the connection details. If everything is correct, your BigQuery database will be connected, and you can start querying your data directly from Airbook.

### Troubleshooting

Ensure that our IP address `34.122.205.142` is whitelisted/allowed in your Google Cloud settings to avoid permissions-related issues.
