Hello
How to send messages or multiple messages to different outputs of the function node is explained here in the docs:
[https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/writing-functions#multiple-messages](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/writing-functions#multiple-messages)
In short you need to return an array of msg objects or null for the output index you don’t want to send to. Here is an example for a function with three outputs, it would send the original msg object to output 1, nothing to output 2 and a new object to output 3:
```auto
const msg1 = {payload:"another msg object"}; //define a second msg object
return [msg, null, msg1]; //return original to 1, nothing to 2 and msg1 to 3
```
