## 1. Create a Storage Account in Microsoft Azure

1. Open [Microsoft Azure](https://portal.azure.com/#browse/Microsoft.Storage/StorageAccounts) and search & select Storage accounts in the search bar.
2. Click **Create** and follow the instructions to create a storage account.

## 2. Create a Blob Container in Microsoft Azure

1. In the **Microsoft Azure**, open the newly created storage account.
2. Navigate to the **Blob Service** -> **Containers**.
3. Click on the **+Container** and enter a name for the container.

## 3. Create an App Registration App in Microsoft Azure

1. Open [Microsoft Azure](https://portal.azure.com/#home) and search for the **App registrations** in the search bar.
2. Click **App registrations**.
3. Click **+New registration** and enter a name for your application.
4. Note the **Application (client) ID** and the **Directory (tenant) ID** from the Application overview page, which are required for the integration.

## 4. Create a Client Secret in the App Registration

1. Once you create an application, on the left-side panel navigate to **Certificates & secrets**.
2. Click **+New client secret** to create a new secret for the application.
3. Enter a description for the client secret.
4. Select a timeframe from the list when the integration expires (the recommended setting is the longest period).
