n8n merge node problem I chosen to use merge node and want input 1 only as output, as you can see input 1 is 3i but output is angloamarican which was input a couple iterations ago, why this happening and how to solve this?
Hello,
I’ll try to help you.
When you use the parameter “Wait for All Inputs to Arrive”, the Merge node expects both inputs to be triggered.
In your case, the second input (from the Switch node) is connected, but the Switch node didn’t send any items.
When this happens, n8n may reuse previous execution data (cached from earlier runs). That why probably you are having output data from previous execution.
To make it work, you can select the setting “always output data” in the switch node
Let me know if it help
Bye
Hi Neo,
message
No matching iframe URLs found.
should have triggered this flow, Now always output data is enabled but still the problem persists.
have tried Almost everything but this just wont go
Got some more ideas?
I don’t get your problem btw, what do you expect with the node?
Hello,
Maybe, if you don’t have any actual data to send, you could send a simple placeholder — like { "ok": true } — just to make sure the Merge node is triggered properly?
Also, have you tried removing the Switch node entirely to see if the Merge behaves correctly without it?
It might help to simplify the structure if that branch doesn’t add useful data.
Let me know how it goes 
Have a nice day!
Its a part of Scrapper, this should accumulate the inputs as it waits to get input from all input streams and then proceed to write on the sheet, In SS as you might be able to guess I was also using it as a trigger that this node will only get input if certain conditions doesn’t meet like if no matching url found it will wait for this input and just write the data that it has in input 1. if urls were found this merge node never get an input rather the workflow branches if urls were found.
No Haven’t removed the switch node Will give it a try and get back to you.
