Hey, everybody. Help please - how to use the received data in the first module again, without restarting the process? I start a process, let’s say I received a letter, then I test different branches and it is inconvenient to send letters and start the process all the time. I really want to run the data received in the first module again. Here I got the data in gmail - how do I use it again? ![Снимок экрана 2024-09-04 в 10.24.58](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/6/2/62c05bb4379005e545c17aa206e23b2e3d6ca38d.png) ---

You can use a router after the first module ---

I don’t quite get your idea I started the process, got the email and all the data, then started the chain. Now I want to test again how the data from the first module will go through the chain, starting from the first module, without sending the email again. How does the router help? Yes, it can make a lot of branches. but I’m testing the process - and I want to see how the data will go through the new chain, but the first module is the same. ---

Ah i see The way I do it for many of my scenario is to force an error. I create a router, usually after the first module and attach a HTTP get request module that points to https:// This throws an error and it stores the data from my first module. Hope this helps! ---

## Polling Triggers: Epoch Panel & Selecting Older Data Go to the Epoch Panel, by right-clicking on the trigger module (polling triggers only), and select “ **Choose where to start** ” from the list of options in the context menu. ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/5/7/57483f7050599b092d328cdc2a96b8c38a45cfef.png) If you select “ **From now on** ”, the next time the scenario runs it will only return new data (or nothing if there is no new data). ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/4/4/4454e6e01dfb86c97ce3423183eca64a605ae116.png) You can also select other old data to re-run your scenario with next using the “ **Choose manually** ” option. This will then show you a list of previous historical items you can select to process the next time the scenario is triggered. For more information, see - [Polling triggers](https://www.make.com/en/help/modules/types-of-modules#polling-triggers) - [Selecting the first bundle](https://www.make.com/en/help/modules/selecting-the-first-bundle) Hope this helps!

Thanks, that’s a great method Just in case, I found another one 1. Download the data received for the first time in Json 2. Then put Json parser 3. Load the data there, and we can always start from there. also a convenient way ---
