STOP SCENARIO MODULE: Give us the ability to STOP a scenario after going down a router path
Scott Rose
It would be really great if there was a way to STOP a scenario from continuing after any given module has been successfully run.
Why? Because of routers & filters.
Currently, there is no way for us to put a "STOP SCENARIO" module at the end of a router path.
As a result, ALL ROUTER PATHS always get evaluated 100% of the time, and then we are forced to create VERY COMPLEX FILTERS to try to prevent all the other router paths from activating.
In other words, if the router goes down "Path A", we have no ability to prevent the scenario from going down "Path B" and "Path C" without creating complicated filters.
We currently have to use very complex filters to prevent the scenario from going down any other router paths, but it would be amazing if there was a way for us to just put a "STOP SCENARIO" module after a certain path.
The only other workaround for this is to willfully create an error message and then use a "commit" error module, but this is really bad practice.
Thank you!

I was about to post the same request. From my perspective, the title on yours could be improved. It's not the entire scenario one wants to stop, but just the current operation.
Here is what I had written up ... I'm posting it here because it's more suscint, and therefore perhaps easier to digest:

TITLE: New Router setting - end operation after successful route
The current Make.com router module always runs all pathways, sequentially (from first to last). All routes are executed, irrespective of the result of previous routes.
I suggest adding an option to the Router module that lets us set it to process only the first successful route.
This would save the user from having to set up additional filter handling on every route to prevent multiple routes from running.

Agreed. The lack of this functionality can make router configuring very time consuming and unnecessarily complex in some instances. It's a pain in the arse. I'm amazed Make.com hasn't added such a simple and handy feature to this important module.

Yes! I was just trying to do this today! I could set mine with filters, but it's cumbersome. A Stop Scenario module would not only be easier to use, but also clearer when looking at the diagram what is actually happening!

I would love to see this too! :) It would be to much more intuitive
