Lola ProfileInstall

Overview

The Lola Profile node allows you to either retrieve ("Get") or update ("Set") a user's profile based on various identifiers and profile fields. This node is useful in workflows where you need to fetch user information for personalization, validation, or logging purposes, or when you want to update user details such as name, contact info, or custom metadata.

Common scenarios:

• Fetching a user's profile using their channel identifier (e.g., phone number, email, Telegram ID).
• Updating a user's profile with new information, including custom metadata.
• Integrating user profile management into automated workflows for CRMs, support systems, or messaging platforms.

Practical examples:

• Retrieve a user's profile before sending them a personalized message.
• Update a user's email and add custom tags after they complete a form.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

• Missing required fields:
  • For "Get", ensure "User Channel Identifier" is provided.
  • For "Set", ensure "User Identifier" is provided.
• Invalid date format:
  • When setting "Date of Birth", use the format YYYY-MM-DD.
• Metadata errors:
  • Ensure that metadata keys and values are correctly filled; malformed JSON in "Metadata JSON" may cause errors.

Error messages:

• Errors from missing parameters or invalid formats will typically result in workflow execution errors. Double-check required fields and formats.
• If the underlying API returns errors (e.g., user not found, invalid identifier), these will surface as node errors.
