Azure Blob Storage

Getting your data to Azure Blob Storage is an easy task with Dataddo. If you already have your Azure Blob Storage destination created in Dataddo, and you only need instructions on how to connect it to a Data Flow, you can skip Step 1 and start from Step 2 right away.

Step 1 - How to Create an Azure Blob Storage Data Destination

1. Sign in to your Dataddo account and click on Destinations at the top of the page.

2. Click on Create Destination in the top right corner.

3. From the list of destinations, choose Azure Blob Storage. You can type the name of the connector into the search bar to find it faster.
   

4. Fill out all the files on the sign-in page to give Dataddo all the necessary information to connect your data, and click on Save. Read more about authoritazion and how to obtain the information below.

Step 2 - How to Create an Azure Blob Storage Data Flow

1. Click on Flows at the top of the page.

2. Click on Create Flow in the top right corner.

3. Click on Add Source to connect it to the destination. You can type the connector's name into the search bar to find it faster.
   

4. Once you select your data source, click on Add Destination.

5. From the list of destinations, select the destination. You can also type the name into the search bar.
   

6. Configure the destination by filling out necessary fields.
   Make sure you choose the correct File Name and Write Mode and their combination.
   

   

   • If File name = NAME & Write mode = CREATE NEW FILE -> this combination will not work, because after the first synchronizatino, the file will already exist.
   • If File name = NAME & Write mode = REPLACE -> every synchronization will replace the data with the newest ones.
   • If File name = NAME + DATE -> new file with data will be created with each synchronization.

7. You can name your flow by typing the name into the top.

8. You can see a Data Preview to make sure of your configuration.
   

9. Click on Save flow.
