Integration Setup​

Step 1: Create a Service Account​

Create a separate Azure DevOps account that will be used to collect analytics and generate reports.

Why use a service account?

A separate account allows you to distinguish automatic comments from personal ones and simplifies access management.

The token is displayed only once! Save it in a safe place.
