+Configure integration using Aiven Console
+--------------------------------------------
+
+If you're using Google BigQuery for your data storage and analysis, you can seamlessly integrate it as a sink for Aiven for Apache Flink streams. To achieve this via the `Aiven Console <https://console.aiven.io/>`_, follow these steps:
+
+1. Log in to `Aiven Console <https://console.aiven.io/>`_ and choose your project. 
+2. From the **Services** page, you can either :doc:`create a new Aiven for Apache Flink </docs/platform/howto/create_new_service>` service or select an existing service.
+3. Next, configure Google BigQuery service integration endpoint:
+
+   * Navigate to the **Projects** screen where all the services are listed. 
+   * From the left sidebar, select **Integration endpoints**. 
+   * Select **Google Cloud BigQuery** from the list, and then select **Add new endpoint** or **Create new**. 
+   * Enter an *Endpoint name*, *GCP Project ID*, *Google Service Account Credentials*, and select **Create**.
+
+4. Select **Services** and access the Aiven for Apache Flink service where you plan to integrate the Google BigQuery endpoint.
+5. If you're integrating with Aiven for Apache Flink for the first time, on the **Overview** page and select **Get Started**. Alternatively, you can add a new integration in the **Data Flow** section by using the plus (+) button.
+6.  On the **Data Service integrations** screen, select the **Create external integration endpoint** tab. 
+7. Select the checkbox next to BigQuery, and choose the BigQuery endpoint from the list to integrate.
+8. Select **Integrate**.
+
+Once you have completed these steps, the integration will be ready, and you can start creating :doc:`Aiven for Apache Flink applications <..//howto/create-flink-applications>` that use Google BigQuery as a sink.
