Hey,
This might just be me being a new user, but I can’t work out a way to have a router split into 2 streams then rejoin them.
This is what I have configured:
What I’d like is for Create parent 2 to happen if there is information on parent 2 in the variables, then continue to parent 1, child and data.
But I’ve had to duplicate parent 1, child and data for when parent 2 doesn’t exist as I can’t work out how to merge the streams back together.
I don’t know if there is a better way to have it only carry out the parent 2 step if there is data without using a router?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey so as far as I know there isn’t a way to merge after using a router.
Not sure what you have in the filters shown but I would use a Basic Filter (if exists) and set the variable to whatever you have for Parent 2. It will only continue if Parent 2 data exists.
Then for the filter below you can create the same filter but for Parent 2 doesn’t exist.
Alternatively, it seems like Parent 1 always exists in your scenario, if that is true then you can just have that be created first and then have Parent 2 be created 2nd if it exists, you’ll still have to use a router I believe but it will be slightly later in the workflow which might make it a bit easier to work with.
Feel free to message me and id be happy to help you out if you have any further questions.

@ScottyH this is exactly what the router magic formula by Daniel Zrust – App Solutions Architect at Make, is talking about.
You can’t merge them, but you can set a “final” route and get all the variables from the other routes.
For more information, see Router Magic Formula below
