Hey Makers
Want to test a module before you wire up the whole flow?
Now you can move faster when exploring a new app, checking field mappings, or trying out logic in the middle of a build.
This product update in Make gives you a practical way to experiment first, inspect the outputs, and shape the rest of your automation scenario around real data rather than guesswork.
You can configure and run Make modules even when they are not yet connected to the rest of your scenario.
What’s new
- Configure first, connect later: Open a module, set it up, and inspect available fields before deciding where it belongs in your scenario.
Why you’ll love it
Run tests with hardcoded data: Try requests and actions with sample inputs, so you can verify outputs without building the full route around them.
Explore apps faster: See what a module can do while you are still planning, helping you pick the right module and map data with less guesswork.
Build with more control: Test one step at a time, then connect it when you are ready. Especially useful in larger scenarios with multiple branches and filters.
Real-world use cases
-
Check an API module before designing the flow: Run the module on its own, inspect the response, then build filters, routers, and mappings around what you actually see.
-
Prep a scenario during discovery: If you are evaluating a new app, click through modules, test sample values, and understand its capabilities before the full automation takes shape.
-
Tune a complex branch: When one part of a scenario depends on very specific data, test that module separately first, then plug it into the branch once the output looks right.
Another quality-of-life improvement for everyday automation building. I love those.
Happy automating!
