+# How to update the CRM connection string
+
+Microsoft Partner Center allows you to connect a CRM system to capture leads when customers interact with your offers. For the official documentation, see [Customer leads from your commercial marketplace offer](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/marketplace/partner-center-portal/commercial-marketplace-get-customer-leads).
+
+The IBM offers use this feature in two ways.
+
+1. As the CRM system in the [CONTACT ME](https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/commercial-marketplace/offers/ef053efe-304c-4a35-b125-9d5b940ae520/overview) offer.
+1. As the CRM system in the Azure Application and Azure Virtual Machine offers.
+
+In both cases, the CRM system uses the facility documented at [Connect to your CRM system](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/marketplace/partner-center-portal/commercial-marketplace-get-customer-leads#connect-to-your-crm-system). The documentation does not explain how to connect **Azure Table**, but does say **Azure Table** is supported. 
+
+## How to get the connection string.
+
+1. Sign in to the [Azure Portal](https://aka.ms/publicportal).
+1. Ensure you have selected the correct subscription, WAS-MSFT-TEAM.
+1. Select the hamburger menu and select **Storage accounts**.
+1. Select the row with the **Name** that contains **customerleads**.
+1. Under **Security + networking**, select **Access keys**.
+1. Next to **Connection string**, select **Show**. You can use either **key1** or **key2**.
+1. Select the copy icon to copy the value to the clipboard.

+1. Select the offer.

+1. Select **Save draft**.
