The `...user` trick keeps the original data.\n\n\nRun the workflow and check this node's output: you'll see multiple items, each with a new `fullName` and `age`."

This is great for dynamic URLs or when you need to add logic before or after the call.\n*   `await`: We use this because making an API call is an *asynchronous* operation.\n\n\nCheck the output: each user now has `gender` data fetched from the web!"
