Overview

The Azure Blob Storage connector allows PipesHub to access and index unstructured files stored in Microsoft Azure. Whether used for storing reports, datasets, documents, or backups, PipesHub transforms Azure-stored content into searchable and retrievable knowledge — powering AI automation and compliance-ready discovery.

How it works

PipesHub connects to Azure Blob via account keys or Shared Access Signatures (SAS). It scans containers, retrieves object metadata and file content, and parses documents using built-in content extractors (PDF, Word, Excel, images, etc.). File access respects Azure-level container permissions and metadata tagging.

This enables agents to retrieve cloud-stored records, summarize stored reports, or link blobs to related workflows (e.g. incident logs, legal docs, or project data).

Configure

• Generate a storage access key or create a Shared Access Signature (SAS) with read permissions

• Enable the Azure Blob connector in the PipesHub admin dashboard

• Enter storage account name, container name, and credentials

• Define which file types and folders (prefixes) to sync

• Set sync intervals and permission boundaries to match your org policies
