Welcome to the Make community!
You cannot individually run a single module if you don’t have example input data values for each required field, which you must input into the dialog box when you manually run a single module. This is because when you only run a specific module, the mapped variables in the module’s fields are null (do not contain any value), as the previous modules do not run and produce any output values. Does this make sense?
Instead, try running the full scenario by clicking the “Run Once” button:
For more information, see these duplicate questions previously asked and answered by other community members:
If you are still having trouble, please provide more details as described below.
We’d love to help, however, we require more information that demonstrates the problem to help us reproduce the scenario and any issues and errors.
To allow others to assist you, please provide the following:
1. All Relevant Screenshots
We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice. Screenshots are important because Make is a visual editor — a picture provides us with more context.
It would help us identify the issue by having screenshots of:
- the full scenario, and the zoomed in parts of the scenario that you are referring to (if your scenario is huge),
- a full scenario run/execution from the history (showing output “speech” bubbles),
- relevant module fields (showing how you’ve used any built-in functions, and how you’ve mapped the variables),
- relevant filters between modules (showing which operators and any built-in functions you’ve used, and how you’ve mapped the variables),
- relevant module input/output bubbles,
- if applicable, any error messages,
- and if applicable, any external services (spreadsheet headers/ sample data/ regex101.com/ etc. to show the item/ record exists, and is set up correctly).

We would appreciate it if you could directly upload screenshots here instead of linking to them outside of this forum. This allows us to zoom in on the image when clicked, and also having improved privacy from third-party sources.
Taking Screenshots
- Microsoft Windows: Take screenshots using the “Windows Snipping Tool”, by pressing either PrtSc or WinShiftS keys on your keyboard.
- MacOS: Take screenshots by pressing CommandShift4 keys on your keyboard.
Uploading Attachments
- Drag image files directly into the rich-text editor, or
- Click on the upload button in the editor toolbar to select files:
2. Scenario Blueprint
Providing your scenario will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return. This would benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can view screenshots of the changes or paste corrected modules back into your scenario.

A. Export Blueprint
In the scenario editor, click the three dots at the top-right, then select “Export blueprint”.
B. Create Public Share Link
In the scenario editor, click on the Share button:
Read more about the scenario sharing feature in the Help Centre.
3. Properly-formatted Output Bundles from a Scenario Run
Please provide the input/output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario, or get the bundles from a previous run from the Scenario “History” tab.
Providing the bundles from a scenario run will allow others to replicate what is going on, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) and external services. This helps mapping the correct raw variable names from collections (instead of the label/display name).

Click on the white speech bubbles on the top-right of each module and select “Download output (or input) bundles”.
A. Upload a Text File
Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor as a moduleNumber-output.txt file. Open the file to check if it has not added additional formatting or encoded the plain text.
-
You can upload files and images to this forum by clicking on the upload button:
Uploading an attachment here will look like this:
module1-input.txt (1.2 KB), module1-output.txt (3.4 KB)
B. Insert a Formatted Code Block
If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the bundles AND format them correctly.
Formatting IS Important!
Here are some ways to provide text content in a way that it won’t be modified by the forum.
-
Method 1: Type code fence manually —
Manually type three backticks ``` in a separate line before and after the content, like this,
```
text goes here
```
-
Method 2: Highlight the pasted content, then click the preformatted text/code button —
-
Method 3: Upload your file elsewhere and share the public link —
This method is only advised for large files exceeding the forum upload limit.
Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you, so that you can get better answers, faster.
