Send RabbitMQ Message for Each Excel Row
Need to publish data from Excel into a message queue? With Advanced ETL Processor Enterprise, you can automatically send a separate RabbitMQ message for every row in your Excel file - without writing code or using external scripting tools. This is ideal for system integration, microservices, or asynchronous processing workflows.
Why RabbitMQ?
RabbitMQ is a high-performance message broker widely used for decoupling applications, building real-time systems, and ensuring reliable data transmission between services. Sending messages directly from Excel helps bridge legacy data sources with modern architecture.
Step-by-Step: Send RabbitMQ Message per Excel Row
- Launch Advanced ETL Processor Enterprise
- Create a Directory connection to your Excel file folder.
- Create a New Transformation to build the workflow.
- Remove the Validator object to simplify the layout.
- Add a Data Reader:
- Select the Excel file (.xls or .xlsx)
- Choose the correct sheet, range, or table
- Add a RabbitMQ Sender object:
- Configure the connection (host, port, virtual host, credentials)
- Select the exchange and routing key
- Define the message payload using dynamic data from Excel rows (JSON, XML, or plain text)
- Map and Format Data:
- Use the Transformer to build message bodies dynamically
- Apply formatting, conditions, and concatenation as needed
- Run the Workflow:
- Execute the process to publish one RabbitMQ message per Excel row
- Monitor logs and delivery status in real-time
- Automate Messaging:
- Trigger on file arrival or run on a fixed schedule
- Integrate with existing data pipelines or alert systems
Safety checks before sending
- Validate the destination field before any row leaves the workflow.
- Run the package against a test destination before using production recipients, queues, or interfaces.
- Keep row-level logs so failed sends can be retried without guessing what already happened.

FAQ
Can Advanced ETL Processor send RabbitMQ message for each Excel row?
Yes. Advanced ETL Processor can read the Excel file, map each row, send RabbitMQ messages, and log the result in a self-hosted workflow.
Can messages be personalised per row?
Yes. Source columns can be mapped into recipients, subjects, message bodies, phone numbers, queue payloads, HL7 fields, labels, identifiers, and attachment rules.
Can failed sends be logged?
Yes. The workflow can record row number, recipient or destination, payload details, send status, timestamp, retry count, and the exact error returned by the provider or queue.
Can failed rows be retried?
Yes. You can configure retry logic and keep failed rows visible for review instead of burying failures in a mailbox, queue, or desktop script.
Can send workflows run on a schedule?
Yes. A package can run on a schedule, after file arrival, or as part of a larger ETL workflow that prepares the source rows first.
What should I test before enabling a send workflow?
Test a small source file with valid rows, missing recipients, invalid numbers or destinations, duplicate rows, and one deliberate failure. Schedule the workflow only when the logs are clear.
When should row-based sending not be automated yet?
Do not automate it until the input columns, message rules, destination rules, consent or compliance requirements, retry behaviour, and failure handling are clear.
