How RabbitMQ Trigger Actually Works
Connecting Your Message Broker to Business Workflows
Technical Operation: Simple Yet Powerful
The RabbitMQ Trigger seamlessly connects your message broker to n8n workflows:
- Connect: Configure the trigger to listen to specific RabbitMQ exchanges or queues
- Filter: Set routing keys to capture only relevant messages
- Transform: Access message content, headers, and properties within your workflow
- Act: Trigger any n8n workflow based on message arrival
Supports Multiple Exchange Types:
- Direct exchanges for point-to-point routing
- Topic exchanges for pattern-based message filtering
- Fanout exchanges for broadcast scenarios
- Headers exchanges for attribute-based routing
This flexibility enables you to design precisely the event-driven architecture your business needs, using familiar RabbitMQ concepts while leveraging n8n's powerful automation capabilities.
