so my flow is like this:
lead data is received → enters router 1 where condition is checked if true I move to next router where another condition is checked if true move to next router where another condition is checked but the false of each router I want it to simply set variable ‘Qualified’: ‘false’ so that at any step if it is false it comes to the same false step and moves on in the flow.
In short I don’t want multiple false paths I want only one to which thefalse of all routers will come to. How can I achieve this?
Hi @Thyke_AI,
Filters will act like… filters? I cannot come up with a synonym, but think of it as a traffic light. The bundle will only pass if the conditions are met, and will be blocked in its path if the conditions are not met.
For cases where you want a true or false result, it is better to use inline functions such as the if() or ifelse() statement. You can try to implement the function in the subsequent module straight away, or you can try to set multiple variables (with a variable for each condition you want to check)
Hope this helps, please share more info about your setup if you need more help.
Cheers,
Henk

No sir i did not get my answer assume this flow:
Lead comes in → Enters router 1 which leads to 2 paths on one path a filter eg: val>=5 and other is fallback route if val>=5 it goes to another router with filter z==5 and other path goes to fallback. However all I want to do is as soon as fallback has been achieved, I want to set variable Qualified=‘False’. However note that in both the routes as soon as condition aka filter does not pass I want it to enter the above said variable (qual=false).
So instead of creating one set variable module for each router can I not have one module and attach fallback for all routers to that module?
@Thyke_AI,
I do not understand what the purpose of that flow is, or the logic you are trying to apply. Instead of one set variable, have you tried to set multiple variables as I suggested? You don’t have to use routers at all. I.e:
Please explain your question clearly, share a post with the following context:
Give us a detailed explanation of what you’re trying to achieve
Tell us about any steps you’ve tried so far
Include screenshots of:
-
your scenario flow and setup (functions, mappings, variables, etc.)
-
module configurations and outputs
-
any error messages you are getting
Share the blueprint of the scenario you are asking a question about. (this does not contain any connection or personal information)

Apoligies if im asking a wrong question or something but I’m new to this so please feel free to correct me if I’m asking something wrong.
But here’s my flow:
What I’m trying to do is after a lead fills a google form I simply set lead source to google form as can be seen in set variable adjacent to gforms trigger.
This then joins into a set of routers where I’ll be qualifying the lead.
The first router splits into 2:
- First is if this condition is true:
- Second is a fallback in case not true
if true the flow moves to the next router where again 2 flows:
- First is if this condition is true:
- Second is fallback in case not true
However what I mean is in either case if its not true I want to set variable ‘Qualified’ = ‘False’ as can be seen in the set variable attached to the first 2 routes. These set variable fields will do the same thing after (not made that part yet but assume please), so here instead of having two set variables which do the same thing and will eventually flow in the same way can I not have one set variable to make ‘Qualified’=‘false’ instead of having multiple?
Thanks in advance!
Hi @Thyke_AI,
Thank you for the information! I am curious to know what happens after the variables have been set?
The Google Form is filled in and then, depending on what filters are passed, a variable is set. I understand you haven’t made that yet, but it is an important step. Most likely, you can filter/set a variable with an inline function, thus saving you trouble and operations.
Have you followed the academy? It is a good place to start learning about routers and filters: https://academy.make.com/
