Hard to help when we can not see what you have tried.  
Best to show data and a minimal export of your flow.

There’s a great page in the docs ([Working with messages : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/messages)) that will explain how to use the debug panel to find the right path to any data item.

Pay particular attention to the part about the buttons that appear under your mouse pointer when you over hover a debug message property in the sidebar.

[How to import/export a flow](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/editor/workspace/import-export)

In order to make code readable and usable it is necessary to surround your code with three backticks (also known as a left quote or backquote `````)

````auto
``` 
   code goes here 
```

````

You can edit and correct your post by clicking the pencil ✏ icon.

I have also changed your category as this is not about developing a node, it is about creating a flow.
