​Publish from RabbitMQ

This guide provides information on using RabbitMQ to publish events to Outpost.

​Message Structure

RabbitMQ messages should have the same payload structure as the Publish API endpoint.

{
  "tenant_id": "<TENANT_ID>",
  "destination_id": "<DESTINATION_ID>", // Optional. Provide a way of routing events to a specific destination
  "topic": "topic.name", // Topic defined in TOPICS environment variable
  "eligible_for_retry": true | false, // Should event delivery be retried? Default is true.
  "metadata": Payload, // can be any JSON payload,
  "data": Payload // can be any JSON payload
}
