I have two input nodes:  
#1 - catches any incoming message (receiver node)  
#2 - catches /help command (command node)

- If you send a random message to the bot, you'll receive an echo message from it
- If you send /help command to the bot, you'll received a help text AND also an echo message. But in this case I only want to send the help message as a reply, withouth that echo message.

Is there an **elegant** way to prevent sending that echo message, if the original messages was the /help command or any other command.

Thanks.

The solution is to use the Change node between the Receiver and the Sender
