# Adding a new message queue/topic

## Introduction

When [adding](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/event-connectors-beta/adding-a-new-event-connector.md) or [updating](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/event-connectors-beta/updating-an-existing-event-connector.md) an event connector, you have the option to add new message queues/topics. 

## Need to know

* When you add a new queue/topic to an event connector, it is also added to your message broker. 
* You can add as many queues/topics as you want for an event connector - they will all be available for selection when this event connector is chosen as the **broker** in a process flow [trigger shape](/product-documentation/process-flows/building-process-flows/process-flow-shapes/standard-shapes/trigger-shape/trigger-shape-event-listener.md).

## The steps

To add a new message queue/topic, follow the steps below.

**Step 1**\
Access the **queues/topics** page for your event connector:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/3etIg34xIt6FBAWeXNfn" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

If you're adding a new event connector, this page is displayed as part of the [creation process](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/event-connectors-beta/adding-a-new-event-connector.md). Otherwise, you can [access an existing connector](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/event-connectors-beta/accessing-your-event-connectors.md) and choose to update queues/topics.

**Step 2**\
Enter a name for the queue/topic, then click the **create** button - for example:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/pgNPLTi8jivgzfFJmAUf" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Step 3**\
The new queue/topic is added for the event connector (and is also added to your message broker):

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/9rqu1memUKaEfhxFsPYy" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

This queue will now be available for selection when the event connector is chosen as the **broker** in a process flow [trigger shape](/product-documentation/process-flows/building-process-flows/process-flow-shapes/standard-shapes/trigger-shape/trigger-shape-event-listener.md).
