Modules and Flow Control Essentials
Modules are the functional building blocks of Make.com scenarios. They are the individual actions and logic components that process data, control decision paths, and produce outcomes.
The key mental model is simple: scenarios are built by chaining modules together, and those modules fall into two broad groups:
-
Flow control modules: decision-making and data-structuring tools that shape how information moves.
-
Tool modules: utility helpers that support the workflow (for example, storing, counting, waiting, formatting).
Flow control modules are what separate a basic automation from a reliable system. Without these concepts, beginners often build scenarios that:
- Break when data is messy or incomplete.
- Spam outputs instead of batching logically.
- Fail to route different data types correctly.
- Cannot scale beyond simple single-path workflows.

Can you explain the difference between flow control modules and tool modules in more detail?
When should I use an Iterator versus an Array Aggregator?
Can you give an example scenario using multiple flow control modules together?
Awesome!
