# Azure

> Connect Azure in Synthflow so Synthflow LLMs run with your Azure API key and private endpoint.

![Synthflow AI integration with Azure](https://storage.googleapis.com/granular-changelog/doc-images/azure_cover.svg)

Use the Azure integration when you want supported Synthflow models, such as GPT-4.1 and GPT-5.2, to run with your own Azure OpenAI credentials. Synthflow uses your API key and endpoint URL for model access instead of a shared key.

The **API Base URL** should be the private endpoint URL from your Azure OpenAI resource.

## Before you connect

Make sure you have:

* An active Azure OpenAI resource in your Azure subscription.
* The API key for that resource.
* The endpoint URL for that resource.
* A supported API version value for that deployment.

Create or copy these values in the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/) before you connect in Synthflow.

## Connect Azure in Synthflow

Go to **Settings** → **Workspace Settings** → **Integrations**.

Find **Azure** and click **Connect**.

Enter your **API Base URL**, **API Version**, and **API Key**, then click **Connect** to save the integration.

## How this integration works

After connection, Synthflow routes supported LLM traffic through your Azure setup using your credentials. This applies to Synthflow-offered models that are available through your Azure configuration.

## FAQ

#### What does integrating Azure mean in Synthflow?

Integrating Azure means Synthflow uses your Azure API key and endpoint URL to access supported models, such as GPT-4.1 and GPT-5.2, through your Azure OpenAI deployment.

#### Which URL should I use in API Base URL?

Use the endpoint URL from your Azure OpenAI resource. This is the private endpoint Azure creates for your environment.

#### Why do I not see Azure in my workspace?

The Azure integration appears only when BYOK access is enabled for your account. Contact your account team if you need this option added.

#### Can I use OpenAI instead of Azure?

Yes. If you want to connect a direct OpenAI API key instead of Azure OpenAI, use [OpenAI BYOK](/openai#bring-your-own-key).
