Hi @saadbahadi

Here’s an example of how to pass binary to an analyze image node or an agent. Make sure you allow the binary to be passed to the agent node. Does your data come in differently than this? What kind of data is coming in from gmail?

no not the same, the problem is when you get the binary as an attachement from gmail node

There you go, get message, the binary goes to openAi for analysis.
