- `execute`: Executed once no matter how many items

By default always `execute` should be used especially when creating a

third-party integration. The reason for that is that it is way more flexible
|

and allows to, for example, return a different amount of items than it received
|

as input. This is very important when a node should query data like *return
|

all users*. In that case, does the node normally just receive one input-item

as input. This is very important when a node should query data like _return

all users_. In that case, does the node normally just receive one input-item

used!
