Node-red help - node for JSOM template (lemmy.world)

Hey all,

So I'm relatively new to node-red and have a seems-easy-can't-figure-it-out problem

I'm creating a remote with a zigbee IR blaster and building out the automations in Node-red. While automation is working - I'm cleaning it up a bit to look better and trying to do the following.

Button press (IR code as payload) ->> node?? JSON template I can put payload in as a variable ->> MQTT node.

I am just looking for whatever node goes in the middle. I just need a node where I can place the JSON format and insert the IR code from the previous Node. Thanks!

Thank you so much! Sorry for the late reply but I figured it out doing pretty much what you said. Button node to JSON node that coverts to a JSON string and then pass that into the template

I'll post more info when I'm at a computer
