Azure Blob Storage - New blob trigger (real-time)
The New blob trigger immediately picks up new blobs that are created in Azure Blob Storage. An Azure webhook picks up events. Workato listens to these webhooks and processes them in real-time.
MFA REQUIRED
Starting October 1, 2025, Microsoft will enforce multi-factor-authentication (MFA) for Azure Resource Manager API operations used by this trigger. Ensure MFA is enabled for your Azure organization and re-authenticate your connection, or migrate to Client Credentials Grant connections to maintain uninterrupted service.
How to set up Azure webhook event
Complete the following steps to set up this trigger using a webhook event in your Azure portal:
Configure your Azure Blob Storage connection in Workato. Refer to Azure Blob Storage for more information.
Select New blob trigger. This provides a Webhook URL. This Webhook URL is specific to this recipe. Copy this webhook URL for use later in Azure.
Go to your Azure storage account.
Go to Events.
Create a new Event Subscription.
Enter the following information in the subscription form:
- Set Event Type to
Blob created. - Set Subscriber Endpoint to the Webhook URL provided in the trigger.
Return to Workato and click Start recipe. This is required for Workato to send the validation response to Azure for this webhook URL.
Select Create in your Azure instance to finish setting up your new Azure event subscription.
