Is it possible to bypass being forced to create two almost identical routes in this scenario?

How To
1

Hey everyone,
In the screenshot added to this you can see my make.com scenario where i had to branche the flow into 2 seperate almost identical routes.

i had to do this because if the audio file is too large i first need to compress it and then it can move on to the transcriber, but after the cloudconvert module branche 1 and 2 are identical, but i cant seem to find a way to keep only 1 branche and have the cloudconvert module as a sidestep if the file size is >50 megabytes

It would be great to find a way to keep 1 route and only send the file trough cloudconvert and then back into the main flow so i dont have to keep both branches updated and identical.

Hi @Luuk_Visscher,

Welcome to the Make community!

‘Merging’ of routes is not possible, but please join the feature request here: https://www.make.com/en/platform-ideas/p/flow-control-converger-merge

How you could solve it with a workaround is with the set variable—get variable method. You must still use a router but after the CloudConvert module, you map the output to a variable. In the ‘default’ route, you get this variable and use it in the rest of the flow.

Cheers,
Henk
