Inputs

azureSubscription - Azure Service Bus service connection
Input alias: connectedServiceName. string. Required.

Specifies an Azure Service Bus service connection.

messageBody - Message body
string.

Specifies the JSON messageBody.

boolean. Default value: false.

If set to true, a private certificate will be added to the message.

certificateString - Certificate Variable
string. Required when signPayload = true.

Specifies the secret variable that contains the certificate content. This can also be a certificate stored in an Azure key vault that is linked to a variable group used by the release pipeline.

signatureKey - Signature Property Key
string. Optional. Use when signPayload = true. Default value: signature.

In Message Properties, specifies the key where the signature is. If left empty, the default value is signature.

waitForCompletion - Wait for task completion
boolean. Default value: false.

If set to true, this task will wait for the TaskCompleted event for the specified task timeout.

Remarks

Use this task in an agentless job of a release pipeline to send a message to an Azure Service Bus using a service connection (without using an agent).

Note

Can only be used in an agentless job of a release pipeline.

Where should a task signal completion?

To signal completion, the external service should POST completion data to the following pipelines REST endpoint.

{planUri}/{projectId}/_apis/distributedtask/hubs/{hubName}/plans/{planId}/events?api-version=2.0-preview.1

**Request Body**
 { "name": "TaskCompleted", "taskId": "taskInstanceId", "jobId": "jobId", "result": "succeeded" }

See this simple cmdline application for specifics.

In addition, a C# helper library is available to enable live logging and managing the task status for agentless tasks. Learn more about Async HTTP agentless tasks.
