Overview
The Lola Generate URL node is designed to generate specific URLs for various money-related operations within the "Numi" system, such as requesting money, sending money, adding a card, funding requests, and receiving money. It acts as an interface between n8n workflows and the Lola/Numi backend, constructing and returning a unique URL based on user input and the selected operation.
Common scenarios:
- Automating payment or fund request flows in chatbots or customer service systems.
- Generating links for users to complete transactions (send/request/fund/receive money) via Numi.
- Integrating with messaging platforms to send transaction links directly to clients.
Practical examples:
- A support agent triggers a "Request Money" link to be sent to a client via WhatsApp.
- An automated workflow sends a "Receive Money" link after confirming a transaction ID.
- A chatbot generates a "Send Money" link for a user to pay another contact.

Dependencies
- External Service: Requires access to the Lola/Numi API endpoints (e.g.,
/transactions/make-request-money, etc.). - API Key: Optionally uses the
lolaKeyApicredential if configured in n8n. - n8n Configuration: No special environment variables are required unless specified by the Lola/Numi API documentation.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Missing Required Fields: If a required property (such as Phone Number, Chat Identifier, etc.) is not provided, the node may throw an error indicating missing parameters.
- Invalid Operation Selection: Selecting an operation without providing the necessary fields for that operation will result in errors.
- API Errors: If the Lola/Numi API returns an error (e.g., invalid credentials, network issues), the node will fail and may display the error message from the API.
Error messages and resolutions:
- "Parameter X is required" — Ensure all required fields for the selected operation are filled.
- "Invalid API key" — Check that the correct API credentials are set up in n8n.
- "Network Error" — Verify connectivity to the Lola/Numi API endpoint.
