Overview

This node processes input items to check and ensure the correct binary data property is set for Twitter uploads. It scans each item's binary data properties to find an image MIME type and normalizes the binary data to a 'data' property for consistent handling. This is useful when preparing media files for Twitter API uploads, ensuring the binary data is correctly identified and formatted.

Use Case Examples

1. Use case: When uploading images to Twitter via an automation workflow, this node ensures the binary image data is correctly assigned to a 'data' property, which is required by subsequent Twitter upload nodes.
2. Scenario: If an input item contains multiple binary properties, this node selects the one with an image MIME type and standardizes it for Twitter upload.

Output

JSON

• originalProperty - The name of the original binary property containing the image data

Troubleshooting

• If no binary data is found in an input item, the node passes the item through unchanged, which might cause issues downstream if binary data is expected.
• If no image MIME type is found among binary properties, the node does not modify the item, potentially leading to upload failures if image data is required.
