I need to connect two branches to one module

:bullseye: What is your goal?

To connect 2 text aggregators (from two different branches) to one AI Agent (run and agent) module

:thinking: What is the problem?

Please see my screenshot. I had to put a router in to collect two different sets of data from airtable (search records). I want to be able to connect the text aggregators from each branch to a single Make AI Agent (run an agent) scenario, but it will not let me do the drag and connect feature with more than one of the text aggregators which means the AI agent module cannot choose from the text aggregator on the bottom. Any suggestions for this problem

:test_tube: What have you tried so far?

I’be tried doing the drag and drop feature a million times. Just does not work

Hey there,

Yeah that’s not how Make works, you can’t go back to one route after splitting the flow.

Do you need the router though? Just have the two sets of modules one after the other.

Hello,

You have two approaches here.

  1. Use sequential flow
  2. Use “Magic Formula” e.g., create variables after each route finishes and get variables on last route.

Use sequential flow

It’s simple - you are not using router but connect all modules in one flow so search → aggregate → search → aggregate → call AI

Use variables

This is a much cleaner and scalable solution but also operation-consuming.

You can find it by phrase 'Make magic formula"–> explanation video

How to use it:

  • On route 1, right after aggregator, add create multiple variables* module and store aggregator result as variable.
  • Repeat it on route 2.
  • Add route 3 with get multiple variables module and connect it to AI agent.

Have a nice day,
Michal

*Why use create multiple variables? It uses the same amount of operations, but in case you ever need to add another variable, you don’t have to change the module and re-map everything :slight_smile:

No, you do not need a router for this. Simply place them in series. As long as you have an aggregator after each search module, you’ll be fine.

Hope this helps! If you are still having trouble, please provide more details.

Soon they will have a merge module.
Right now, you can use the set/get variable for that.

In the route that doesn’t connect to the agent, set a variable with the data you need.
In the branch that does connect to the agent, use get variable with the variable name from the other branch.

Then map both the variable and the data you get from the branch that does connect to it to the agent.

Make sure the route that doesn’t connect is executed before the branch that does connect.
Use the router’s reorder to make this happen.

Let me know if this helps
