# Azure Queue

## Introduction to Azure Queue with Couchdrop

Couchdrop supports streaming data directly into Azure Queue through file actions and automations, making it effortless to bridge file-based workflows with event-driven architectures. Instead of writing custom code or maintaining integration middleware, Couchdrop can take files or payloads from virtually any source - cloud storage, SFTP/FTP, APIs, or inbound webhooks - and automatically publish them as messages to your Azure queues.

Using Couchdrop’s automations with Azure Queue, you can transform traditional file transfers into real-time, event-driven pipelines.

## How Azure Queue works with Couchdrop

Azure Queues are configured in Couchdrop as a platform integration. This type of integration does not appear directly as a [virtual folder](/connections/virtual-folders.md) as Couchdrop, rather Azure Queue is configured as a connection that you can use in a file action inside an [Transfer Automations](/features/transfer-automations.md) or [File Actions](/features/file-actions.md).&#x20;

## Requirements

To connect to Azure Queue in Couchdrop you will need:

* An Azure account, with an azure queue created within a storage account - take note of the queue name, and the storage account name
* An access key for the storage account

## Configuration Steps

1. Log in to Couchdrop and add a new system integration
2. Select Azure Queue from the list of available integrations
3. Provide the details above
4. Click **Add System Integration**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.couchdrop.io/connections/connect-platforms/azure-queue.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
