Beginner’s Tutorial: Manage Azure Storage Account Container & Blob with n8n [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh06fpMkalw) > This beginner-friendly n8n workflow shows you how to generate AI images using OpenAI, store them in Azure Blob Storage, and manage blob containers, all with zero code.

👤 Who’s it for

This workflow is perfect for: - Beginners learning Azure + OpenAI integration - No-code developers experimenting with image generation - Cloud learners who want hands-on Blob Storage use cases - Anyone who wants to automate storing AI-generated content in the cloud

⚙️ How it works / What it does

1. 🖱️ Trigger the workflow manually using the Execute Workflow node. 2. ✏️ Use the Edit Fields node to input: - containerName (e.g., demo-images) - imageIdea (e.g., "a robot holding a coffee cup") 3. 📦 Create a new Azure Blob container (Create container). 4. 🤖 Use an OpenAI-powered Prompt Generation Agent to craft the perfect image prompt. 5. 🎨 Generate an image using OpenAI’s DALL·E model. 6. ☁️ Upload the generated image to Azure Blob Storage (Create Blob). 7. 📂 List blobs in the container (Get many blobs). 8. 🧹 Delete any blob as needed (Delete Blob). 9. (Optional) 🗑️ Remove the entire container (Delete container).

🔧 How to set up

1. 🧠 Set up OpenAI - Create an OpenAI account and get your API key. - In n8n, go to Credentials → OpenAI and paste your key.

2. 🪣 Set up Azure Blob Storage - Log in to your Azure Portal. - Create a Storage Account (e.g., mystorageaccount). - Go to Access Keys tab and copy: - Storage Account Name - Key1 - In n8n, create a new Azure Blob Storage Credential using: - Account Name = your storage account name - Access Key = key1 value
