Hi and welcome to the forum.
Just a note, Not everyone will install morbus nodes to test your flow. And it's even more unlikely they will have the same device to get data from.
You are more likely to get assistance if you provide a flow with various injects that simulate the data.
You can easily achieve this by using the copy button from the debug output, put the result into JSON payload in the inject and press it. If you get the same format data in the debug window as the data from your morbus device, then paste that flow (minus the morbus stuff).
Anyhow, I think you might as this yourself. Have a read of [this](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/messages). It has invaluable information to help you "get it"

Your value:
> array[1]
As per documentation, example:
> - Array - `[1,2,3,4]`
> `payload.Phone[2].type`
Can you fill in the blanks ?

Use a dashboard label
Or
Use a ui\_template node
They both have built in instructions. Give it a go.
You may need to drop the `msg.` part.

Ah ok. So...
You'll have to store the value somewhere ready for the GET request. Connect your morbus output to a change node and set a flow variable e.g. flow.data from msg.payload[0]. That will keep a copy.
Next add a http in and out node with a change node between them setting msg.payload from flow.data.
