> ### **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! 🟣
