Below is sample configuration for connecting to Azure IoT Hub by using SAS authentication.

    {
      "mqtt": {
        "server": "ssl://xyz.azure-devices.net:8883",
        "topic": "devices/demo_001/messages/events/",
        "protocolVersion": "3.1.1",
        "qos": 1,
        "clientId": "demo_001",
        "username": "xyz.azure-devices.net/demo_001/?api-version=2018-06-30",
        "password": "SharedAccessSignature sr=*******************",
        "retained": false
      }
    }

Below is another sample configuration for connecting to AWS IoT by using certification and privte key auth.

    {
      "mqtt": {
        "server": "ssl://xyz-ats.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:8883",
        "topic": "devices/result",
        "qos": 1,
        "clientId": "demo_001",
        "certificationPath": "keys/d3807d9fa5-certificate.pem",
        "privateKeyPath": "keys/d3807d9fa5-private.pem.key", 
        "insecureSkipVerify": false,
        "retained": false
      }
    }

Dynamic Topic

If the result data contains the topic name, we can use it as the property of the mqtt action to achieve dynamic topic support. Assume the selected data has a field named mytopic, we can use data template syntax to set it as the property value for topic as below:

    {
      "mqtt": {
        "server": "ssl://xyz-ats.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:8883",
        "topic": "{{.mytopic}}",
        "qos": 1,
        "clientId": "demo_001",
        "certificationPath": "keys/d3807d9fa5-certificate.pem",
        "privateKeyPath": "keys/d3807d9fa5-private.pem.key",
        "retained": false
      }
    }
