Hello -
I am having trouble with one of my workflows. I want to add a Router Module so I can filter the data and sent it to the correct place. I have an email coming in via Make’s mail webhook. I can send the data to one place without any troubles, but I am unable to filter it since it does not reveal the contents after being processed with text parser for REGEX extraction.
Included are screenshots of simple workflow. How can I see the contents within Make so I can filter by extracted value and send to the correct place?
I am limited with sharing much more information & screenshots given the nature of our workflow and business policies. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Welcome to the Make community!
In your second screenshot showing the output of the Text Parser, what we are seeing is that there are NO matches. That means your regex pattern needs to be amended to capture the content correctly.
When reaching out for assistance with extracting text, it would be super helpful if you could share the actual text you’re trying to match. Screenshots of text can be a bit tricky, so if you could copy and paste the text directly here, that would be awesome! It ensures we can run it against test patterns effectively. If there’s any sensitive info, feel free to change it to something fictional yet still valid by keeping the format intact.
Providing clear text examples saves time on both ends and helps us give you the best possible solution. Without proper examples, we might end up playing a guessing game, and nobody wants that as it is a waste of time! You are more likely to get a correct answer faster. So, help us help you by sharing those text snippets.
Please format the example text this way to preserve line breaks and special characters:
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:
-
Method 1: Type code block manually
Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:
```
content goes here
```
-
Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thank you for the quick response. That’s the problem that’s occurring–no output bundle appears, so I assume I cannot use Router Module with Filtering based on text value extracted. I can only see the extracted data after the workflow is ran & gets posted in last step of workflow. See image below with the extract data posted in last step (data blacked out due to sensitive nature).
Is there something I can do to the workflow so I can filter the text extracted from the text parser?
If you want to continue the scenario even if there are no matches, you can select
Then in your filters, you can use “Exists” or “Does not exist” operators.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
