How to Renumber Modules in Make.com: A Guide

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you've deleted a module in your project and now your module numbers are all over the place? You're not alone. Many Make.com users have faced this issue and it can be quite frustrating. But don't worry, there's a solution to this problem.

Understanding the Problem

When you delete a module in Make.com, the module numbers don't automatically renumber themselves. This means you can end up with a sequence like 2, 10, 4, 8, 7, 9. This can make your project look disorganized and it can be difficult to keep track of your modules.

The Solution

Unfortunately, there's no direct way to renumber the modules within Make.com. The module number is used throughout the scenario and changing it would require a cascade of changes throughout the scenario. However, there's a workaround that you can use.

Step 1: Export the Blueprint

The first step is to export the blueprint of the scenario. This will give you a JSON file that you can edit.

Step 2: Edit the JSON File

Open the JSON file in a text editor and manually change the module numbers. Make sure to save your changes.

Step 3: Reimport the Blueprint

Once you've made your changes, reimport the blueprint into Make.com. Your module numbers should now be in the order you want them to be.

Troubleshooting Tips

Be aware that this method has the potential to scramble any references you have to outputs from the module you're changing. It's also worth noting that this method doesn't work if you just copy, edit, and paste one module. It only works if you edit the entire scenario blueprint.

Conclusion

While it's not the most straightforward solution, this workaround can help you renumber your modules in Make.com. It's a bit of a hassle, but it's better than having disorganized module numbers. Just remember to be careful when editing the JSON file to avoid any potential issues.
