   • SEEBURGER Cloud to your system: Receiving messages
   • Both: Sending and receiving messages

7. In the field Usage, select how you want to use your cloudlink:

   • Content-Based: This is the default way of communicating with the SEEBURGER Cloud. It includes content-based routing as well as the new function metadata-based routing. With the option Content-Based you can use all available functions of the Communication Service.
   • Published Address: The usage Published Address supports specific additional Cloud services like MaKo Cloud Service or Invoice Portal Cloud Service. If you are not using one of these services, select Content-Based.
