Publish message action

This action publishes a message to a Confluent Cloud topic you specify.

Input fields

Field	Description
Topic	Select a topic from the list or enter the topic name.
Message schema source	Select where your message schema is defined from either your common data models or your schema registry in Confluent Cloud. To retrieve schemas from your schema registry, you must configure your Confluent Cloud connection with your Stream Governance API credentials.
Message schema	Select a message schema from your common data models or schema registry.
Message	Provide the message you plan to publish. The available fields are dependent on the message schema you selected.
Key	Provide the message key. This value is stored with the message. Kafka uses the key to select an appropriate topic partition when the partition is not assigned explicitly. Only string keys are supported.
