Trigger shape (event connector)

This is preview documentation for a feature that's scheduled in an upcoming release.

Introduction

Event connectors can trigger process flows by listening for events that are published to message queues/topics by a message broker (e.g. RabbitMQ).

Once an event connector is configured, it becomes available for use as a process flow trigger.

Need to know

• New event connectors are available for selection in process flow trigger shapes as soon as they are saved successfully.
