Use case
You can use the Service Bus Consumer activity along with the Service Bus Listener activity to provide a better user experience while the system performs heavy calculations in the background.
For example, you can use the Service Bus Consumer activity to send a "Your form was successfully submitted" message immediately after the user submits a form. To do this, place the Service Bus Consumer right after the form activity, and add a Service Bus Listener later on in the workflow to pick up the message from the Service Bus Consumer and resume the process.
Set up a workflow to perform an offline redirection process
This sample workflow provides a basic configuration to achieve this use case.
