# Kafka Write Adaptor

## Creating a Kafka Write Adaptor

The Kafka Write Adaptor allows messages to be produced to a Kafka Topic.

In order to create a Kafka Write Adaptor, it is necessary to create a [Kafka Connection](/v1/docs/kafka-connection).

- Create a new item via the create button in the graphs tab of the project home page.
- Select the Kafka Adaptor icon and give the adaptor a name.

Choose the **connection** from the drop down list in the Adaptor screen or edit it directly by clicking the pencil icon next to the connection name.
