# AzureBlob Importer

## Introduction

The AzureBlob importer takes files processed in migration-center and imports them into the target Azure Blob containers.

## Prerequisites

You will need the Azure Storage EndPoint and a SAS Token to connect the importer to Azure.

A standard **Azure Storage Endpoint** includes the unique storage account name along with a fixed domain name. The format of a standard endpoint is:

&#x20;`https://<storage-account>.blob.core.windows.net`

For more information about the Azure Endpoints see: <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-query-endpoint-srp?tabs=dotnet>

To generate the **SAS Token** follow the Azure documentation here: <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/translator/document-translation/how-to-guides/create-sas-tokens?tabs=Containers>

## Metadata

You can set Azure Metadata attributes by adding attributes to the Object Type you will be using in the migset. The Object Type name is not relevant.

Any attribute present in the Object Type and associated in the migset will be set on your imported documents.

## Blob Index Tags

You can set Blob Index Tags by adding them to the Object Type and associating them in the migset, just like a regular Metadata attribute.

{% hint style="info" %}
Index Tag attributes name must have the format **index.\<name>**
{% endhint %}
