Hi,
I'm having the following function:
```auto
data :{
title : msg.title,
message : msg.message,
data: {
push: {
sound: {
name: 'default',
critical: msg.setCritical,
volume: 1
}
},
actions: [msg.action],
}
},
service : msg.receiver
}
```
I'm also having this:
```auto
if(msg.imageurl){ msg.setImage = "image: https://github.com/home-assistant/assets/blob/master/logo/logo.png?raw=true"; }
```
But how can I pas the `msg.setImage` after `actions: [msg.action],`?
It's not possible to already put `image: msg.setImage` to it and send a empty image because it's shows a 404 error image.

I don't understand what you have showed us.

That appears to be part of an object, not a function.

Again I don't understand. If you want to include the contents of msg.setImage into the structure then using `image: msg.setImage` is the correct way to do it. If you do that and look at the result in a debug node (before you do anything else with it) what do you see?

I've created a sub-flow with soms variables on the input side. This is in my function.
```auto
```
I would like to check if `msg.imageurl` got a value and if so, put is **after** `actions: [msg.action],`.

```auto
if(msg.imageurl) {
msg.payload.data.data.image = msg.imageurl;
}
```
Add something like this after you set the payload. this will check if msg.imageurl exist and add it to your payload.

Something like this after the `msg.payload = ...` statement
```auto
if (msg.imageurl) {
msg.payload.data.data.image = msg.imageurl
}
```
