Overview#
AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) is a flexible protocol designed for high-performance messaging. Integrating the AMQP API within Pipedream workflows allows for robust messaging capabilities between various systems and services. You can use it to queue tasks, run asynchronous job processing, and facilitate communication between different parts of your application or different applications altogether. AMQP's reliability and standardization make it a go-to choice for enterprise-level messaging patterns.

Example Use Cases#
Real-time Order Processing: Automate a real-time order processing system where AMQP queues receive new orders. Once an order message hits the queue, Pipedream triggers a workflow that checks the product availability, calculates shipping, completes the transaction, and finally, posts the order details to a Slack channel for the fulfillment team.
IoT Device Message Handling: Tackle the flow of messages from IoT devices. As your devices publish data to AMQP queues (like temperature or GPS location), Pipedream workflows can be triggered to process this data, perhaps logging it into a Google Sheets spreadsheet for analysis or alerting maintenance staff via email or SMS through Twilio if certain thresholds are exceeded.
Distributed Job Scheduler: Build a distributed job scheduler where tasks are sent to an AMQP queue. Workflows in Pipedream can then be set up to consume these messages, process the jobs — such as image rendering or data crunching — and then update a project management tool like Trello or Asana with the job status, ensuring that team members are always informed of the progress.
Popular AMQP Triggers#
Emit new event for each new message in an AMQP 1.0 queue. See the library example here.
Popular AMQP Actions#
Send a new message to an AMQP 1.0 queue. See the library example here.
Authentication#
AMQP uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your AMQP account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to AMQP APIs in both code and no-code steps.
Setting up AMQP requires their users enter their AMQP settings host, post, username, and password in order to connect. For more info, refer to AMQP’s documentation.
