+When connecting to Azure OpenAI, the following fields are **required**:
+
+- `apiType`: Must be set to `azure` to enable Azure OpenAI compatibility
+- `endpoint`: Your Azure OpenAI resource endpoint URL (e.g., `https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/`)
+- `apiVersion`: The API version for your Azure OpenAI deployment (e.g., `2025-01-01-preview`)
+- `key`: Your Azure OpenAI API key
