This is an item, but it's empty - binary data

Describe the problem/error/question

I try to use binary data in the next node in the workflow. It doesn’t matter If use HTTP nor Dropbox I am getting the same output

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow



just trying to send the image to the API. As you can see on the left I have 2 files available. When I click view on them I can see the images. But when I try to send them using binary in body I am getting the output that there’s an item, but it’s empty. Any clue ?

I am having a similar issue like this one did you was able to solve it ?

@p.petryszen @TechPrieto
The issue usually is, that you need two separate binary items. I was able to achieve that and run multiple requests with this code node.

You will have to adapt this line to where your binary data is coming from

const items = $("On form submission").all()
