If you want to use a setting from appsettings.json (or from the Function App's Application Settings for that matter), you can use the name of the setting surrounded by percent signs in the trigger attribute.

For example:

appsettings.json

{
  "Values": {
    "QUEUENAME": "SomeQueueName"
  }
}

Azure Function

[FunctionName("QueueTrigger")]
public static void Run(
    [QueueTrigger("%QUEUENAME%")]string myQueueItem, 
    ILogger log)
{
    log.LogInformation($"C# Queue trigger function processed: {myQueueItem}");
}
