Create Message Queue Activity

This activity creates a message queue for sending or receiving messages between workflows or activities in order to coordinate work.

This activity creates a WorkflowQueue using the WorkflowQueuingService.
Note: The following restrictions apply:
  • The message queue name cannot be null or empty, and you cannot use workflow instance ID, task instance ID, or task step instance ID as a queue name, because doing so causes the activities to fault at run time.
  • Empty GUIDs are not allowed.
  • Leading and trailing spaces are trimmed in the queue name; otherwise, the queue name is invalid.
  • If the queue name is not a reserved value but the queue already exists, no fault occurs.
PropertyValueDescription
Queue NameUser-defined; StringSpecifies the name of the message queue, which is scoped to this workflow instance.
