Eleven Labs ConversationalInstall

Overview

The node provides integration with the ElevenLabs Conversational AI API, enabling interaction with various resources such as Agents, Conversations, Voices, Phones, and Knowledge Bases. Specifically, for the Knowledge Base resource and the Get Document operation, the node retrieves a knowledge base document by its unique Document ID.

This functionality is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically fetch specific documents from a knowledge base to use their content in workflows, such as answering user queries, generating summaries, or feeding data into other processes.

Practical example:
You have a customer support chatbot that references a knowledge base. When a user asks a question, your workflow uses this node to get the relevant document from the knowledge base by its ID and then uses the document content to formulate an answer.

Properties

Output

The node outputs the retrieved knowledge base document in the json field of the output item. The structure typically includes all relevant details of the document as returned by the ElevenLabs API, such as document content, metadata, and identifiers.

If the node supports binary data output for this operation (not explicitly shown in the provided code), it would represent any associated files or attachments related to the document. However, based on the static analysis, the primary output is JSON data representing the document.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the ElevenLabs Conversational AI API.
• Requires an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests to ElevenLabs.
• No additional environment variables or external services are indicated beyond the ElevenLabs API access.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Document ID: Ensure the Document ID provided is correct and exists in the knowledge base.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network or API downtime: Check network connectivity and ElevenLabs service status.

• Common error messages:

  • "Document not found": The specified Document ID does not exist; verify the ID.
  • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": The API key is invalid or missing; reconfigure credentials.
  • "Rate limit exceeded": Too many requests sent in a short time; implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
