How to pass Item from a node?

i am new to N8N i added a “gmail trigger” node to get attachment then an “execute command” to create folder, then a “wrrite file to disk” node to save attachment into that folder. when i put them beside each other the attachment item does not pass the “execute command” to reach the third node. how can i pass items through nodes? if you see images i used second method but i dont like it. any chance to pass the variable from a node?


Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.95.3
  • Running n8n via npm
  • Operating system: windows 11

If multiple paths branch out from one node, they are processed independently. The first path is completed before the second path.
The top path is used to pass the attachment, while the bottom path is used to create the folder.
However, there are also Merge Nodes that wait for multiple inputs. These might be helpful for you.
