Hi, is there a way to only run a module if certain variables are set? So basically I want the module to run Zero time or One time (max) based on a variable value.
Welcome to the Make community!
You can use a router with two paths with a filter to only run a path when the conditions are met.
Alternatively, you can use an Iterator-Aggregator loop if you want to avoid the use of routers, but you’ll still need a filter before the module you want to/or not run.
Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —

P.S.: investing some effort into the tutorials in the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make!
But you cannot access the first path items / results in second path. You will have to write the results in variable, or google sheet, and then use it?
That is correct. For more information, see the “Router Magic Formula” link I shared above.
