Overview

The Lola Messanger node is designed to send messages through the Lola platform, specifically supporting Chatwoot-originated messages. It can either accept message details directly as input properties or automatically load them from a previous "Lola Message Composer" node in your workflow. This node is useful for automating outbound messaging in customer support, notifications, or conversational workflows where integration with Chatwoot and Lola is required.

Practical examples:

  • Sending automated replies to customers in a Chatwoot conversation.
  • Relaying messages from an n8n workflow to a Lola-powered chat interface.
  • Attaching images to outgoing messages based on workflow logic.

Properties

Name Meaning
Type The type of message to send. Options: Text
Load From Message Composer Whether to load the account ID, conversation ID, and message text from the Lola Message Composer node.
Account ID A unique identifier for the account. Only shown if "Load From Message Composer" is disabled.
Conversation ID A unique identifier for the conversation. Only shown if "Load From Message Composer" is disabled.
Message Text The text of the message to be sent.
Attach Image Whether to attach an image to the message.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object with the following structure:

{
  "lola_omnichannel_send_response": {
    "status": "success" // or "fail"
  }
}
  • status: Indicates whether the message was sent successfully (success) or not (fail).

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to the Lola API (via the helper function sendLolaMessage).
  • Credentials: Optionally uses lolaKeyApi credentials if configured.
  • n8n Configuration: If using "Load From Message Composer", ensure that a compatible Lola Message Composer node precedes this node in the workflow and provides the necessary data in the expected format.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:
    • Missing Lola Message Composer Data: If "Load From Message Composer" is enabled but no valid data is found, the node will throw an error:
      "No Lola Message Composer node found in the workflow"
      • Resolution: Ensure a Lola Message Composer node runs before this node and outputs the required data.
    • Unsupported Source: If the source of the message is not "chatwoot", the node will throw:
      "Only Chatwoot messages are supported"
      • Resolution: Use only Chatwoot-originated messages with this node.
    • API Errors: Any errors returned by the Lola API will be surfaced as node errors.
      • Resolution: Check the error message for details, verify credentials, and ensure all required fields are provided.
