Hi, in order to make code more readable and importable it is important to post it between two sets of three backticks - ``` - see this post for more details - [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506)

Your code is currently unreadable - please edit your post.

Secondly,

Read this [the documentation on functions](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/writing-functions#multiple-messages) it tels you about sending multiple messages

Basically, its doing what you asked. (if you want 1 mesage for each output, remove the outer array e.g.

```auto
//return [outputMsgs]; << for sending multiple as per docs
return outputMsgs ; // << for sending 1 per output

```
