description: "Learn how to configure a Azure DevOps Sync for Infisical."
---

**Prerequisites:**

- Set up and add secrets to [Infisical Cloud](https://app.infisical.com)
- Create an [Azure DevOps Connection](/integrations/app-connections/azure-devops)
- Ensure your network security policies allow incoming requests from Infisical to this secret sync provider, if network restrictions apply.

        2. Select the **Azure DevOps** option.
        ![Select Azure DevOps](/images/secret-syncs/azure-devops/select-azure-devops-option.png)

        3. Configure the **Source** from where secrets should be retrieved, then click **Next**.
        ![Configure Source](/images/secret-syncs/azure-devops/devops-source.png)

            - **Environment**: The project environment to retrieve secrets from.
            - **Secret Path**: The folder path to retrieve secrets from.

        <Tip>
            If you need to sync secrets from multiple folder locations, check out [secret imports](/documentation/platform/secret-reference#secret-imports).
        </Tip>

        4. Configure the **Destination** to where secrets should be deployed, then click **Next**.
        ![Configure Destination](/images/secret-syncs/azure-devops/devops-destination.png)

            - **Azure DevOps Connection**: The Azure DevOps Connection to authenticate with.
            - **Project**: The Azure DevOps project to deploy secrets to.

        5. Configure the **Sync Options** to specify how secrets should be synced, then click **Next**.
        ![Configure Options](/images/secret-syncs/azure-devops/devops-options.png)

            - **Initial Sync Behavior**: Determines how Infisical should resolve the initial sync.
                - **Overwrite Destination Secrets**: Removes any secrets at the destination endpoint not present in Infisical.
                <Note>
                    Azure Devops does not support importing secrets.
                </Note>
            - **Key Schema**: Template that determines how secret names are transformed when syncing, using `{{secretKey}}` as a placeholder for the original secret name.
            - **Auto-Sync Enabled**: If enabled, secrets will automatically be synced from the source location when changes occur. Disable to enforce manual syncing only.
            - **Disable Secret Deletion**: If enabled, Infisical will not remove secrets from the sync destination. Enable this option if you intend to manage some secrets manually outside of Infisical.

        6. Configure the **Details** of your Azure DevOps Sync, then click **Next**.
        ![Configure Details](/images/secret-syncs/azure-devops/devops-details.png)

            - **Name**: The name of your sync. Must be slug-friendly.
            - **Description**: An optional description for your sync.

        7. Review your Azure DevOps Sync configuration, then click **Create Sync**.
        ![Confirm Configuration](/images/secret-syncs/azure-devops/devops-review.png)

        8. If enabled, your Azure DevOps Sync will begin syncing your secrets to the destination endpoint.

    <Tab title="API">
        To create a **Azure DevOps Sync**, make an API request to the [Create Azure DevOps Sync](/api-reference/endpoints/secret-syncs/azure-devops/create) API endpoint.

        ### Sample request

        ```bash Request
        curl --request POST \
        --url https://app.infisical.com/api/v1/secret-syncs/azure-devops \
        --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
        --data '{
            "name": "my-devops-sync",
            "projectId": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a",

            },
            "destinationConfig": {
                "devopsProjectId": "12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890abcdef",

            }
        }'
