Product Overview

Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) is an open standard for passing business messages between applications or organizations. This protocol is used to connect systems, provide business processes with the information they require, and reliably transmit instructions to achieve the goals of applications.

By using this plug-in, you can send messages to or receive messages from an AMQP broker queue. In addition, you can also use this plug-in to subscribe to messages from an AMQP broker queue.
