Introducing the RabbitMQ Connector for Azure Logic Apps (Public Preview)

Author: hcamposu

Overview

Microsoft has released the RabbitMQ Connector for Azure Logic Apps (Standard and Hybrid), enabling developers to both send and receive messages using RabbitMQ within Logic Apps workflows. RabbitMQ is a popular open-source message broker, widely used for building scalable and reliable messaging solutions across various industries.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Supports Triggers (Receive): Configure a Logic App to trigger when a message arrives in a RabbitMQ queue.
  • Publishing Capabilities: Send messages to RabbitMQ from Logic Apps, allowing integration with external systems and services.
  • Hybrid Scenarios: Enables on-premises messaging solutions via Logic Apps hybrid capabilities.
  • Peek Lock Operations: Supports non-destructive reads for scenarios requiring message inspection before completion.
  • Message Completion Handling: Complete or reject messages using built-in actions, with support for delivery and consumer tags.
  • Queue Management: Create queues directly from Logic Apps using the connector.
  • Robustness: Leverages RabbitMQ’s reliability, clustering, high availability, advanced routing, and extensibility.

How to Use the Connector

Receiving Messages

  1. In the Logic Apps designer, search for the RabbitMQ connector.
  2. Add the “When the queue has messages from RabbitMQ” operation as a trigger.
  3. Configure required parameters, such as Queue Name.
  4. Use the triggered payload in downstream Logic Apps actions, such as a Compose action.

Publishing Messages

  1. Search for the RabbitMQ connector and select the Send a message operation.
  2. Configure:
    • Queue Name
    • Message Body
    • Exchange Name (if routing is needed)
    • Routing Key
  3. Messages can now be published from your Logic App to a RabbitMQ endpoint.

Completing Messages

  1. For workflows using peek-lock, add the Complete message action from the RabbitMQ connector.
  2. Provide Delivery Tag, Consumer Tag, and specify the acknowledgment type (Complete or Reject).
  3. This manages message state directly from your workflow.

Additional Actions

  • Use Create a queue to provision new RabbitMQ queues.

Supported Regions

The RabbitMQ Connector is rolling out globally, with regional availability expanding over time.
