I’ve encountered an issue with a scenario in Make.com where the flow unexpectedly skips past filters that should block it, leading to empty data being passed to an aggregator module. This scenario has worked correctly for many runs but has failed in this manner twice over the past two days. The filters are set correctly, and no fallback routes are in place. I’m looking for insights into what might cause such sporadic behaviour, whether it could be related to platform glitches, data anomalies, or something else I haven’t considered.

Hi @James_G
You have chosen the iterator as source module in aggregator, hence, the scenario will run till the aggregator but it will validate the filters. After aggregator, you need to put filter.

Hi @Msquare_Automation, thank you for your response.
Please could you explain both your points more?
- Is there a better module to use as the source, instead of the iterator… I thought this would be the best thing to do?
- I need to put a filter after the aggregator, why? What am I filtering for?
I should say I have had this automation (set up in this exact way) working at least 20 consecutive times. Only in the past 2 days it has broke and this happened. However, if I run it again it works perfectly again.
I really think that this is not actually an issue with my scenario, the mappings or any of the filters I have set up, but perhaps I am wrong.

Hi @James_G
This is not wrong. As you have selected the source item as iterator in aggregator, it will run the scenario till the aggregator even if no filter pass. Hence, in this case, aggregator can have no output. That’s why to avoid unnecessary run after aggregator, filter is important if the value in aggregator output exist or not if you are mapping from aggregator in your next modules. If not, then not needed.

I understand… so something like this is what I should do?
