Use Azure Blob storage to manage commercial marketplace leads

The commercial marketplace support for Azure Blob storage has been deprecated and is no longer an option to process leads from your offer. If you currently have a commercial marketplace offer with lead management configured for Azure Blob, you will no longer receive customer leads. If that is the case, we recommend that you connect your offer to one of the other Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems supported by the commercial marketplace.

Connect to your CRM system

When you're publishing an offer to the commercial marketplace with Partner Center, connect it to your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. This lets you receive customer contact information as soon as someone expresses interest in or uses your product. Connecting to a CRM is required if you want to enable a test drive (see the preceding section). Otherwise, connecting to a CRM is optional.

  1. Under Customer leads, select the Connect link.

  2. In the Connection details dialog box, select a lead destination.

  3. Complete the fields that appear. For detailed steps, see the following articles:

  4. To validate the configuration you provided, select the Validate link.

  5. Select Connect.
