How to use PubSub by Workato

There is no connection required to use the PubSub connector, as schemas are stored in the Workato account for recipes to interact with.

In order to work with the PubSub connector, users require access to the PubSub topics feature. Reach out to your Workato administrator if you do not have such access.

In order to use PubSub you must complete the following steps:

1

Create and configure a PubSub topic.

2

Create at least one recipe that uses a PubSub publish action or PubSub batch publish action to publish to that topic. Several recipes can publish to one topic. Workato orders the messages in the topic according to the time they were published.

3

Create at least one recipe that uses a PubSub trigger to consume messages from that topic. Several recipes can consume from one topic, and each recipe receives all messages.

4

As an alternative for, or in addition to publishing and consuming recipes, you can use Workato APIs to publish or consume messages directly.

5

After you created a topic, manage its properties in the control UI.
