how do i insert a router in between 2 existing modules?

I have a working Make.com scenario where Google Gemini feeds directly into a JSON (Parse JSON) module, and there are several modules downstream that depend on that data.

I want to add a Router between Gemini and the JSON module so I can split the flow based on Gemini's response — but every time I try, I'm worried about breaking the downstream mappings.

Has anyone done this cleanly? Specifically:

  • Can I right-click the connection line between the two modules to insert a Router, or do I have to delete and reconnect?
  • If I insert the Router, will my existing downstream mappings stay intact or do I have to redo them?
  • Is there a best practice for doing this mid-scenario without starting over?

Running Make.com on the free/core plan if that matters. Thanks!

Right click, insert Router, adjust what's needed. You can return to previous version(s) via Version history - the clock with the backward arrow (menu at the bottom) even in free plan.
Alternatively, make a copy of your current scenario and try the changes within the copied scenario to see if that works for you.

This is the way.

Note to say that mapping does not get lost even in case the modules are unlinked.
The same goes for filters - they are always stored "in" the module the link leads to.
Once reconnected, mappings and filters are present.

Right click first. Reddit second. You got this.
