Azure Blob as output or source within Photopilot
Approved images with fixed folders and filenames in your Azure Blob container.
- In production
This is the route
- You create a SAS URL for the container.
- Photopilot writes approved images to a fixed folder structure.
- Filenames follow your own rule, with item, view, and sequence.
- A replaced or deleted image is also cleaned up in Azure.
Azure Blob Storage at a glance
- What is exchanged
- Photopilot writes approved images to your Azure Blob container, using a fixed folder structure and your file names. If your team replaces or deletes an image, Photopilot also cleans up the old file in Azure. Azure can run alongside FTP or Shopware.
- How often
- Usually within a few minutes after approval, with automatic retry if an upload fails.
- What you provide
- A SAS URL for the container with write permissions, and delete permissions if Photopilot needs to clean up replaced images. Optionally, a base folder.
- Good to know
- Five customers export to Azure this way. Photopilot does not use your Azure account, only the SAS URL, which you can revoke yourself.
