Hello,

I would like to build a flow that receives a telegram message (works) then downloads a file (works), append something to the file, based on the original content and the telegram message and uploads the file again.

I currently struggle with how to combine the telegram message (`msg.payload["content"]`) and the result of the http request (`msg.payload` as a string).

Connecting both outputs to a function node would trigger the node as soon there a telegram message, but the file is not downloaded yet

So basically, I want the two node to be chained, with the payload from the first node passed through the second node:

so that the debug node sees the payload of both objects.

How can I achieve that?

Thanks a lot!

Put a change node between telegram and http request. Have the change node copy `msg.payload` to `msg.something`. finally, set the debug to show complete message and you should see the original telegram payload (in `msg.something`) and the http response in `msg.payload`.

Obviously you can use `msg.anything` or `msg.telgramPayload` or `msg.whateverPropNameYouDesire`
