Has anyone found a workaround? Trying to create a Workflow for a document signing board that can have anywhere from 1-5 signers. The Workflow would be that after an item is created on that board, it checks if there is an email in the multiple “Signer Email” columns and then updates the status in the respective “Signer Status” column.
The issue is that after an If/Else split, there is no way to merge the path back together. (See photo, ideally they would reconnect as seen with the red lines).
Has anyone figured out any solution to make something like this work?
Unfortunately there’s no way to ‘jump steps/paths’ (at least at this point, I have seen it in feature requests but not sure if it’s on the roadmap). I generally just copy/paste the paths to where I need them.
You’re not doing anything wrong — there just isn’t a way to merge paths back together after an If/Else split right now. Once you branch, you’re basically stuck living separate lives in each path.
And for your use case (1–5 signers), that gets messy fast. You end up either:
duplicating the same steps over and over
or breaking it into multiple automations just to keep things sane
Neither is great.
Honestly, for how powerful workflows are getting, it’s kind of wild there’s no “merge” or “go back to step” option yet. Feels like a pretty foundational thing.
If you haven’t already, I’d definitely throw this in as a feature request (or upvote one if it exists). This is one of those “this should just be there” capabilities.
In the meantime, the least painful workaround I’ve found is splitting logic into separate automations instead of one big branching workflow — not perfect, but way easier to manage long term.
