The Azure Blob Storage integration lets you upload files from PushMetrics Reports to a container in your Azure Storage account. You can use it to automatically deliver report outputs—such as CSV exports, charts, or merged PDFs—to Azure Blob Storage on a schedule or via webhook.

What you can do with the integration

  • Upload report outputs to Azure Blob Storage — When a Report runs, selected contents (e.g. SQL results as CSV, chart images, Tableau exports) are uploaded to your configured container.
  • Set a blob path (key) — You choose the path/prefix under which files are stored in the container (e.g. reports/2025/monthly-summary.csv).
  • Merge PDFs or CSVs — You can combine multiple report attachments into a single PDF or CSV before upload.
  • Use in Reports — Add Azure Blob Storage as a destination alongside Email, Slack, or other destinations. Reports can have multiple destinations.

For an overview of Reports and destinations, see How Reports Work.

Prerequisites

  • The Storage Account Name, Container Name, and an Account Access Key from that storage account (see below).

Setting up the integration

  1. In PushMetrics, go to Data & Integrations and open the Integrations tab.
  2. Click the Azure Blob Storage card to add a new integration (or go directly to Azure Blob Storage setup).

Information required

Field Description Where to find it in Azure
Display Name A friendly name for this integration in PushMetrics (e.g. "Production Blob" or "Reports Container"). Choose any name.

Microsoft documentation: View account keys, Create a container.

Adding Azure Blob Storage as a report destination

  1. Open a Report (create one at Reports or New Report, or edit an existing report).
  2. In the report settings, find Select Destination and click Azure Storage Blob so it is selected (highlighted).
  3. In the Azure Blob Storage destination block that appears:
    • Integration — Select the Azure Blob Storage integration you configured (e.g. "My Azure Blob Storage Integration").
    • File path — Enter the path (blob key) where the file(s) will be stored in the container (e.g. reports/daily-summary.csv or a path with a date). You can use Jinja2 for dynamic paths (e.g. reports/{{ utils.ds }}.csv).
  4. Save the report and run it or set a schedule/webhook so it runs automatically.

Managing the integration

  • Edit — In Data & Integrations → Integrations tab, find your Azure Blob Storage integration and use the edit action to change the display name or connection details. If you change the account key, re-enter it and test again.
  • Delete — Use the delete action for the integration in the Integrations list. Reports that used this destination will need to be updated to use another integration or destination.
