## Describe the problem/error/question

Hello everyone, I am using the Switch node for route contact from A to multiple B.  
The input items has a field with the name of the accounts, this field can have multiple name, Account1 Account2 etc…  
That’s why I am using the switch node, checking this field, and using the Routing rules “Contain”.

## What is the error message (if any)?

The problem is when a contact has 2 account, this contact needs to be save in 2 account, but the switch node route it to the first account and skip the other one.  
Is there a way to route the input in all the output with that rule?

## Please share your workflow

Hi @Gabriele_Bracciali, perhaps you want to try using multiple [Filter](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.filter/) nodes for such cases rather than one Switch node? An item can be picked up by multiple filters, so I think this would achieve what you have in mind.

Hi @MutedJam thank you for replying me.  
Actually yes, that’s a great solution, I’ve added 4 filter with 4 different routing condition 1 for each account.  
It’s working properly, thank you like always!
