How RabbitMQ Trigger Actually Works

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:

  1. Connect: Configure the trigger to listen to specific RabbitMQ exchanges or queues
  2. Filter: Set routing keys to capture only relevant messages
  3. Transform: Access message content, headers, and properties within your workflow
  4. 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.
