MSMQ (Inbound) ​

A MSMQ Transport is used to connect to a MSMQ service over the Internet or local network. You can receive Files from the remote MSMQ service. You configure the MSMQ Transport with the appropriate details for connecting to the remote service and retrieving any files that match your requirements. The Inbound Transport will always activate with a particular File Connection and it is the properties of this File Connection that determine the filter for matching files.

You will need to install the MSMQ components on the computer that is running Flow. This provides Flow access to the MSMQ client library necessary for communication with MSMQ.
