Join two payloads together

[GRawhideMart]

Hello! I know this looks like it has already been asked, but I have reason to believe that my case is quite different, since I don't have an Inject node.

I have two HTML selectors, one returning an array of strings and the other returning an array of image sources (Wikipedia tables stuff). I want to eventually build from these arrays:

• A JSON array combining the two arrays (each element should be an object with "string" and "image" properties)
• A CSV file with the two fields as columns.

However, the join node is not working for me, since I have two separate msg.payloads from the two HTML parsers; if I change the output names to each of the latter, they don't put their respective fields into a single object, but it still keeps the messages separated. Anybody know how can I "trick" this?

You need to join manually as a key/object. You also have to add topics to your two incoming payloads, you can add change nodes after the to html nodes to add topics..
here is an example

[{"id":"40490139.b2586","type":"inject","z":"c74669a0.6a34f8","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"string","payload":"[\"string1\",\"string2\"]","payloadType":"json","x":200,"y":3220,"wires":[["55644378.d2d494"]]},{"id":"55644378.d2d494","type":"join","z":"c74669a0.6a34f8","name":"","mode":"custom","build":"object","property":"payload","propertyType":"msg","key":"topic","joiner":"\\n","joinerType":"str","accumulate":false,"timeout":"","count":"2","reduceRight":false,"reduceExp":"","reduceInit":"","reduceInitType":"","reduceFixup":"","x":370,"y":3200,"wires":[["9512251d.ff92"]]},{"id":"9512251d.ff92","type":"function","z":"c74669a0.6a34f8","name":"","func":"let newarray = [];\nfor(i=0; i<msg.payload.string.length; i++){\n    newarray.push({string: msg.payload.string[i], image: msg.payload.image[i]});\n}\nmsg.payload=newarray;\nreturn msg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"initialize":"","finalize":"","x":530,"y":3200,"wires":[["19d1f9f7.86f8ce","9b1fbf91.0a4b38"]]},{"id":"24e8532e.fd99bc","type":"inject","z":"c74669a0.6a34f8","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"image","payload":"[\"link1\",\"link2\"]","payloadType":"json","x":170,"y":3260,"wires":[["55644378.d2d494"]]},{"id":"19d1f9f7.86f8ce","type":"debug","z":"c74669a0.6a34f8","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":750,"y":3220,"wires":[]},{"id":"9b1fbf91.0a4b38","type":"csv","z":"c74669a0.6a34f8","name":"","sep":",","hdrin":"","hdrout":"all","multi":"one","ret":"\\n","temp":"","skip":"0","strings":true,"include_empty_strings":"","include_null_values":"","x":600,"y":3280,"wires":[["19d1f9f7.86f8ce"]]}]

Copy flow json, then press CTRL I in the editor past flow then press import.

Thank you for your answer!
I actually solved it like this:
