How do I connect my Search Airtable so if e-mail exists then continue to next Router to continue dividing and processing?
Use filters on the router.
Thank you and I’m sorry for being a newbie but what does that mean - isn’t that what I’ve done with the two filters coming from the first router?
What does put them ON the router mean?
Hi @Sally_Baldwin,
These are your filters:
If you’d like to learn more about how to use Routers and Filters, check out the Make Academy, specifically the first two modules (Setting up my first scenario and Expanding my first scenario).
Yes I know what filters are. I put them on the Scenario as pictured, the first replier said to put them ON the router. I’m not sure what that mean?. If they are in the wrong place not sure where to put them.
They are in the correct location.
Question now is if they are correctly configured.
Have you already tried running your scenario?
I think my question is being misunderstood!!!
I’m wondering how I connect the bottom filter (E-mail exists) to continue to the Router on the right.
Oh, I see now. You cannot merge a route back into another route.
What you may need is a router magic formula.
There are many examples all over this community forum, but here’s one.
Basically, if you have a router and need to use information from one route in the next, you use Set Multiple Variables in the first route, then Get Multiple Variables (using the same variable names) in the second route.
If you explain exactly what your scenario is doing, we can suggest alternate approaches you’d might like to take. There are other ways to handle this too.
For example, after Airtable #39, you may want to add a Set Multiple Variables and store the a “Record ID” variable for the record that was found (if none was found, your Record ID variable will be null and that’s ok).
Then, after Airtable #40, add a Set Multiple Variables that does the same thing, set the “Record ID” variable. This time, you’ll have a record ID to store because you just created it.
Then, disconnect Airtable #40 and Router #19, then make a connection from Router #41 to Router #19.
Lastly, between the routers, add a Get Multiple Variables and get the “Record ID” variable you set in the other two Set Multiple Variables modules.
Now you’ll have a Record ID to use the subsequent Airtable modules.
Something like this
