Message Enricher With Mulesoft

Message enricher works by sending a copy of the original message into the processor and then eventually moving the enriched message forward.

Message enricher is one of the important components with Mulesoft. There are various scenarios in which you can use the message enricher component.

  • When synchronizing data between data sources, you often check to see if a record already exists in the target resource.

  • If you simply add an endpoint to query the target resource first before adding it, the response will become the payload. This is not what you want!

  • You want the external call to act as an enrichment of the existing message with the original payload retained.

How Does Message Enricher Work?

Here's the process: 

  1. Enricher sends a copy of the original message into the processor.

  2. The original message waits.

  3. The copy is processed.

  4. The copy's response is a message.

  5. Part(s) of the response are added to part(s) of the original message.

  6. The enriched message moves forward.

We will walk through adding only new records in target system (i.e., Salesforce).

  • When determining if records exist in the target system, it is common to store results in record variable.Image title

  • After that determining the record exists in the target system, you can use batch step filter to process only qualified records.

  • Create a batch job to poll the database after a specific interval of time with a specific condition (i.e., postal code).

  • Add a batch step and use message enricher to check if the record exists in Salesforce (account with the same name) and store the result in record variable and retain the original payload.

  • Add a second batch step with a filter that allows only new records to be added in Salesforce.

  • Use commit scope to process record in a batch.
