Want to send individual, customized emails to multiple recipients using a CSV or fixed-width file? Advanced ETL Processor can read each row of your flat file and automatically send an email - personalized with data from that row - without writing any code or using complex scripts.

What It Does

Advanced ETL Processor connects to a text file (e.g. CSV), reads every row, and sends an email based on a predefined template. Each message is customized using field values from that row - such as name, email address, invoice number, or any other field.

    • Integrate into larger automation flows

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 email for each row in a text file?

Yes. Advanced ETL Processor can read the text file, map each row, send emails, 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.
