@George Budwick That’s honestly exactly how I feel right now. I think it’s great that we have so much information online, but at the same time, it can be overwhelming and sometimes I don’t know which direction to go. But yes, your advice is spot on. I definitely need to focus on quality over quantity. Thank you!

@Mick Kunmi digitz Thank you for your solid advice!! Yeah, I will look into both Instantly and Mails.ai. Also, I agree with personalizing outreach and building trust among niche communities.

@Mick Kunmi digitz Thank you for the followup answer! I just tried all the steps you mentioned, but haven't been able to suceed for some reason…..So basically, my goal is to merge two branches: - One has user fields (name, email, phone, etc.) - One has an OpenAI message (welcomeMessage_en) I'm using a Merge node (Combine → Matching Fields → sessionId) to combine them before writing to Google Sheets. The problem I'm facing is that even after assigning sessionId: {{$json.email}} in both Edit Fields nodes, the Merge node shows sessionId: nulland the OpenAI output (Edit Fields2) doesn't contain the value.As a result, welcomeMessage_en never reaches Google Sheets (always blank). What I've tried so far is that - Added a Set/Edit Fields node (Edit Fields6) before OpenAI to inject sessionId: {{$json.email}} - Enabled “Include Other Input Fields” - Confirmed OpenAI → Edit Fields2 has the message, but still sessionId = null * attached a screenshot of sessionId: null at Edit Fields2 output* How can I reliably carry sessionId (or email) into the OpenAI → Edit Fields2 branch, so Merge works correctly? Is there a better strategy for merging async branches like this? Thanks so much in advance! 🙏

@Mick Kunmi digitz Hello, Kunmi :) I followed your advice step-by-step but I'm still stuck — welcomeMessage_en is still showing null after the Merge node. Here’s what I did: ✅ I added a Set node (Edit Fields6) before the OpenAI node. I used: js Copy code sessionId = {{$json.email}} and confirmed the output was correct (test@example.com). ✅ I connected Edit Fields6 → OpenAI → Edit Fields2 (in that order). Edit Fields2 is manually mapping: js Copy code welcomeMessage_en = {{$json["message"]["content"] || ""}} sessionId = {{$json.sessionId}} I also tried referencing directly from the Set node: js Copy code {{$node["Edit Fields6"].json.email}} but same result. ✅ “Include Other Input Fields” is enabled. ✅ The Merge node is set to Combine → Matching Fields → sessionId, but even then, welcomeMessage_en comes out as null in the output. Do you have any idea what else might be going wrong? Could it be a timing issue or node order that’s still off? Thanks so much for your help 🙏

@Usama Jazri I DMd you :)
