I am new here and have been trying to copy a scenario similar to this video on youtube ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o69j1pwMbzs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o69j1pwMbzs)).

My scenario is simpler. It has only two two routes. My goal is to retrieve data from two questions retrieved from Google Forms, run them separately on ChatGPT for a summary, and for each create a variable that will later serve as input to update a Google Slide.  
Differently from the scenario in the video, I skipped the third route presented there. Mine looks like this:

This image shows that when using the “Get multiple variables” tool, I can select anything from the second route, but no data from the first route appears there.

Can anyone explain how to make my module 22 retrieve the variable I set in module 10 in the first route?

Welcome to the Make Community!

You need to manually type the name of the variable.

Delete the value and type the name out.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thank you so much!!

It did work when manually typing the name of the variable, in this case, “Question\_1”.
