Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Azure Storage	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Azure Storage app.
Container Name	`containerName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Blob Name	`blobName`	`string`	The name of the blob within the specified container.

Authentication#

Azure Storage uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Azure Storage account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Azure Storage and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Azure Storage API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
