How to Add A Router | Foundation – Enhancing My First Scenario – Unit 1

Unlocking the Power of Automation: Expanding Your First Scenario

Are you ready to take your automation skills to the next level? In the latest session of “Make Academy with AI Automation Elite,” we explored the second course in the Make Foundation qualification—”Expanding My First Scenario.” Dive in as we enhance workflows with routers and filters, paving the way for seamless data processing!

Why Routers Are Game Changers

When it comes to automation, the challenge often lies in managing complex workflows. Enter the router! This tool allows users to split data flows into multiple paths, making it possible to process information simultaneously across platforms like Google Sheets and Slack.

Understanding the Router

Now, let’s define what a router is and why you need it in your automation toolkit:
  • Redirection: A router enables the division of data into separate paths, enhancing workflow flexibility.
  • Parallel Processing: Simultaneously send information to multiple destinations, such as Google Sheets and a messaging platform like Slack.

Adding a Router: Two Methods

Ready to add a router? There are two approaches you can take:

Method 1: Inserting a Router Between Modules

  1. Access your existing workflow—find the three dots between two modules.
  2. Right-click to access the menu and click on ‘Add a Router’.
  3. Visualize your flow by auto-aligning the modules.

Method 2: Starting Fresh with a Router

  1. Click on the Tools section and select the Flow Control button.
  2. Drag the new router to your desired starting module.
  3. Connect it and add new modules to configure as needed.

Visualizing Your Data Flow

As your workflow expands, understanding how data moves through the system becomes crucial. Enter the “Explain Flow” button! This tool lets you visualize your scenario:
  • View the order of data flow and identify potential bottlenecks.
  • Easily adjust the order of your flow to optimize processing times.

Adjusting Flow Order for Enhanced Functionality

Did you know the order in which data flows can significantly affect the efficiency of your automated tasks? Here’s how to change it:
  1. Right-click on the router and select “Order Routes.”
  2. Drag the route you want to prioritize and click “Apply.”
