# AMQP

AMQP 1.0 is a messaging protocol that facilitates seamless and standardized communication between systems.

Frends offers seamless integration with the [Advanced Message Queuing Protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Message_Queuing_Protocol) (AMQP 1.0), enabling you to effortlessly connect and automate data flows between your systems and AMQP-based applications.

Frends has both tasks for sending AMQP messages and an AMQP trigger for listening for incoming messages.

Typical products supporting AMQP 1.0 are

* Apache ActiveMQ
* RabbitMQ
* Azure Service Bus
* [IBM MQ](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.3?topic=applications-amqp-10-support)

## Use cases

Below you will find typical use cases for AMQP integrations and how they are implemented in Frends.

### Listening for incoming AMQP messages

Using the Frends AMQP trigger to listen for incoming messages, process them and then reply to the reply queue.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.frends.com/tasks/tasks/amqp.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
