Hello community,

I have been working on a project of a my friend. There are several occurings of msg.from and msg.to, but I cannot find it when logging the msg(Json-object). The msg has only been changed/created by a http request. Are those properties linked to the IPs?

Is there a complete list of properties of msg?

Thanks and many regards  
Rumei M.

PS: It's my first post on this forum, so if there is any formal mistakes, don't hesitate to tell me 🙂

Hi @Rumei

In a nutshell - no - the msg is what it is & it completely depends what you or a node adds to the message.

If you use a debug node set to show complete message - to see what is in a message.

There’s a great page in the docs that will explain how to use the debug panel to find the right path to any data item.

Thank you for the quick reply. After seeing your message I have gone through the whole project again and found where the above mentioned properties are set.

For future reference, if the properties were added by a Change or Function node or by something else explicit in your flows then you could have used the Search feature (Ctrl+F) and searched for `from` to find it. That would not work if they were added by a node such as the email node for example.
