Hi, I have a flow that triggers from a PIR sensor then 3 cameras take a picture, then email it to me. This is working, however it sends 3 emails with 1 attachment each. I'd like it to be a single email with 3 attachments. Not sure how to go about this, any direction?
Just before Email Node :
msg.payload = "Body Message Text";
msg.topic = "Topic Text";
msg.attachments = [{filename: "File1.jpg", content: msg.File1},
{filename: "File2.jpg", content: msg.File2},
{filename: "File3.jpg", content: msg.File3}];

Thanks, did not have success with that just before the email node, I think its because I am triggering 3 simultaneous actions, and then nothing in place to merge that back into one. I actually couldn't even get your suggestion to load the files, and even with that it would still trigger 3 emails. I'll post this part of code so you can see how i'm loading those files.

Thank you so much / that did it. I was missing a join node, duh! I couldn't see the forest for the trees.
