Flow Control: Converger / Merge
complete
P
Pavel Duras
The Converger module is basically a counterpart of the Router module and it would enable you to merge several routes into one.

If-else & Merge have arrived!
With the new If-else & Merge flow control modules, you can now:
🔀 Branch on conditions and guarantee only one path runs with If-else
🔗 Bring branches back into a single flow with Merge
If-else vs Router:
👉 Use If-else for single decisions that you need to Merge back.
👉 Use a Router for parallel actions, but note that Router paths cannot be merged.
Available to all Make users, free at no credit cost!
Give it a try and let us know what you think. Your feedback will directly shape the feature as we keep improving it.

Such a great feature on an already robust platform. I'll be using this extensively for if-else checks for record creation or updating.

Brisbane Markets Limited, we're very happy to hear you like it! If you ever run into ideas for how we can make them even better, we’d love to hear from you via our feedback form: f.make.com/if-else-merge

This is awesome, thanks for listening to feedback!
What is the blocker on merging Routers back together?
Valery Mezencev
Convincible, Thanks, great question! We've experimented extensively with different approaches, edge cases, and setups, and we decided to make the Router vs If-else distinction by design.
The Router is built to be able to execute multiple paths, with the number of paths executed varying based on how the filters evaluate. Merging these paths back together introduces a lot of complexity around data conflicts and which bundle to pass forward.
If-else works differently by design. It guarantees that only one path ever runs, which makes merging clean and predictable. That's what makes the If-else & Merge combo possible.
If it's something you'd find valuable, please share your use case in our feedback form: f.make.com/if-else-merge. It helps us prioritize what to tackle next, though If-else & Merge might already cover your use case!

Add a Merge Node
Eliot
Use this description when requesting enhancements via Make.com's feedback or feature channels: "Implement an advanced Merge node in Make.com to aggregate bundles from parallel paths (e.g., after Router or new If/Else modules), supporting options like appending arrays, deduplicating by key fields, handling unmatched data without loss, and configurable modes (e.g., union, intersection) to streamline complex automations for software optimization."
Adding the Merge Node
Drag the Merge module from the toolkit after conditional branches like If/Else or Router.
Connect incoming data streams to its inputs; it processes all bundles regardless of prior conditions.
Configure aggregation settings to merge fields, ensuring comprehensive data handling for reliable workflows.

Thank you. Do you know why I can't access the Facebook group?
Valery Mezencev
Hi OmerMn, please be aware: Make no longer maintains any official Facebook groups, so please be careful when accessing unmanaged external communities. We would love to have you in our official space! You can join the Make Community for verified resources and peer support at https://community.make.com 😊

Valery Mezencev Thank you!

It’s happening! As we announced at Waves ’25, we are officially developing a flow control update with two brand new modules: If-Else and Merge.
The If-Else module will let you set up multiple conditional branches and ensure that only one of them will ever run. This, combined with the Merge module, will provide a much cleaner way to handle 'if-else' use cases and give you the ability to merge branches back into a single flow.
Please note, for this particular release, the Merge module is designed to work exclusively with the new If-Else module and will not merge paths from a Router.
Thank you for your patience, and stay tuned!

Valery Mezencev Holy Moly! I've been waiting years for this... so many possibilities. Keep up the awesome work!

Valery Mezencev Any progress?

NIR SHAALTIEL, Yes! We're launching the new If-Else & Merge modules in the coming days. Stay tuned!

"Reverse Router" Module - Flow Control
AI Assistant
Problem Description: Currently, when using a router in Make to split the flow based on specific conditions (for example, different values in a variable), we need to duplicate all subsequent modules in each route, even if these modules are identical for each route. This approach can be inefficient and results in a more complex design that's harder to manage and modify.
Example of the Current Scenario:
Suppose we receive colors as data: red, blue, and green.
We use a router to perform different actions based on the color:
If the color is red ➔ Module 1: Send an email
If the color is green ➔ Module 2: Send an SMS
If the color is blue ➔ Module 3: Send a WhatsApp message
After these specific modules, all routes need to continue with the same modules (for example, C, D, F, G), which are common across all color routes.
Issue: We currently have to duplicate modules C, D, F, and G in each branch of the router, increasing maintenance effort and reducing flow clarity.
Solution Proposal: Introduce a "Reverse Router" module that allows for reconnecting separate routes into a single flow before continuing. This would mean that after using a router to branch into specific modules, the data flow can rejoin into a single line and continue with the same set of shared modules (C, D, F, G) without duplicating them.
Visual Example:
Before (without Reverse Router):
/ ➔ Red Route ➔ Module 1 ➔ C ➔ D ➔ F ➔ G
Router --➔ Green Route ➔ Module 2 ➔ C ➔ D ➔ F ➔ G
\ ➔ Blue Route ➔ Module 3 ➔ C ➔ D ➔ F ➔ G
After (with Reverse Router):
/ ➔ Red Route ➔ Module 1 \
Router --➔ Green Route ➔ Module 2 -- Reverse Router ➔ C ➔ D ➔ F ➔ G
\ ➔ Blue Route ➔ Module 3 /

Converger
Zbyněk Šidlák
Hi, in integromat docs i found module converger: https://www.integromat.com/en/help/converger
But in make i cant find him, can you add this module to make?
Tom Duffy
I love make.com as a platform i think its great, but 2 and a half years down the line of this request and nothings been done....
But they decided to roll out a "snow mode" which may look a little cool but is completely useless.
Time to step up the game a bit, with the advancements of AI, a lot of new competitors will rise to the challenge of satisfying their users needs.
HOL Management Services Ltd
Tom Duffy Totally agree, the fact that Make.com are STILL missing such key functionality is an absolute bloody farce. There are thousands of people that want this functionality, and it avoids that ridiculous "magic router formula" hack that has been published and seems to have become thje defacto work around to handle the poorly designed functionality of branches in Make.
