Get file field from Message router if the webhook is before a merge node

[Sebas]

Describe the problem/error/question

When my telegram node (image) is connected to the Message router , all we need to do is add ‘file’ to input binary field. But with this setup I have a merge node added, and now its impossibl;e to get to the file field. (data from Message router )

What is the error message (if any)?

With latest try [{{ $(‘Message Router’).item.binary }}] I get [Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘# Object’)]

Please share your workflow

UPDATE: I changed it to an IF, but the same question still exists.

Share the output returned by the last node

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘#’)

Hey @Sebas - here’s a little simplified version (removed the telegram). This code node step gives you the binary to work with again. I guess you won’t need the merge after.

That is amazing, thank you

I wanted to wait for the Image Analyses to be ready before posting it to Telegram. So now both Image and description arrive at the same time.

Thanks!
