Azure Service Bus Send Queue Message

Azure Service Bus icon

Description

This process action sends a message to a queue in an Azure Service Bus namespace.

To use this tool, you need a Microsoft Azure Service Bus metadata object, and a process in which you want to work with Azure Service Bus.

Setup

  1. Add the process action Azure Service Bus Send Queue Message from the Process Palette, under the Connectors section.

  2. Configure the action by dragging and dropping one of the following Microsoft Azure Service Bus metadata nodes onto the action:

    • Top-level Microsoft Azure Service Bus metadata node

    • Queue

  3. Set other action parameters as needed.

  4. Define your message to send in the Expression Editor for this action.

If you drag and drop a queue node onto this action, the action inherits the queue name from the metadata. You can set this parameter in the action to override the inherited value.
