      @sdetweil I named my retreived data as “foo” and then used sendSocketNotification as you previously told me but I got this as output:

      I did it this way on my node_helper file (Highlighted the lines I added):

      Did I missed anything?

        @SopaMaruchan ah, so much fun!

        you are inside the callback of the request,so ‘this’ I pointing to some request object and not the node_helper instance…

        sooooo

        before request(…

        add
        let self = this

        and change this. to self.

          @SopaMaruchan and {foo} is unnecessary

          you could just use
          res.body

          it’s the same stuff, why waste memory w a new pointer only being used once

          (same w info there too)

            @sdetweil Hahahaha true that!
            Kinda fixed it guided by your recommendations but the thing is that I’m still getting the same output: 098fca99-2a82-4ccd-8758-b81dcaedc3b6-image.png
            Here the code:

                  Does it help if I tell you that I got everything on my onstart function of the node_helper file?

                      @SopaMaruchan I’m realizing that my my receiveSocketNotification is not being triggered on my MM-Module file:
                      f111ce89-0276-4196-a41b-2ad73b016eaa-image.png
                      I logged some text after calling receiveSocketNotification function but there’s no output on console.

                      node_helper:
