This node merges data from multiple sources into a single data stream or structure. It's useful for aggregating data from different devices or sensors before processing or analysis.
Functionality
The combine node takes data from multiple incoming JSON payloads and combines them into one JSON object.
Outputs
The combined JSON will contain all the unique JSON keys that the node has received. The output of the combine node can be configured using various options in the node.
