Hi @Miracle ,

Modules are the core building blocks of any scenario - they define when an automation starts, what actions are performed, and how data flows and is processed between apps.

The main types of modules in Make.com include:

  • Trigger modules
    Start the scenario when an event occurs.
    Examples: Webhooks ā€“ Custom webhook, Google Sheets ā€“ Watch rows, Airtable ā€“ Watch records
  • Action modules
    Perform operations such as creating, updating, or deleting data.
    Examples: Create a row (Google Sheets), Create a record (Airtable), Send an email (Gmail)
  • Search modules
    Find existing data based on conditions.
    Examples: Search rows (Google Sheets), Search records (Airtable)
  • Iterator modules
    Split an array into individual bundles for processing.
    Examples: Tools ā€“ Iterator
  • Aggregator modules
    Combine multiple bundles into a single output.
    Examples: Array aggregator, Text aggregator, Numeric Aggregator
  • Flow control modules
    Control logic and routing within scenarios.
    Examples: Router, Filters, Error handler, Sleep

For a deeper understanding of each module and real-world use cases, Iā€™d highly recommend going through the official Make documentation:

Having a good grasp of these module types makes it much easier to design clean, efficient, and scalable automations in Make.
