spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: KafkaTopic
      apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
      name: my-topic

      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: insert-header-action
    properties:
      name: "issueKey"
      value: "MYP-167"
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: Channel
      apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1
      name: mychannel
    properties:
