To clarify a couple of possible gotchas (adding to the accepted answer):

Set these values by going to

App Services -> Your Web App -> Settings / "All Settings" -> Application Settings -> (In page under header) Connection strings

There you'll find Name, Value, and a Type drop down.

Name: Do NOT put your storage account name here! Rather, this is where you put AzureWebJobsDashboard for one connection string and on the next AzureWebJobsStorage. The value for these should look like:

DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=;AccountKey=

-- Old Portal -- I've had problems with this before where it was fixed in the old portal, so for that sake:

Old Portal: Your website -> Configure tab -> under 'connection strings', enter two new values: a) dropdown type CUSTOM, for NAME do NOT enter the name of your storage account! rather Name is: 'AzureWebJobsDashboard' or for the other (enter two entries): 'AzureWebJobsStorage'.
