Overview

The Lola Messanger node is designed to send messages (currently only text) through the Lola platform, with optional image attachments. 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 particularly useful for automating outbound messaging in customer support, notifications, or chatbot scenarios where integration with Chatwoot conversations is required.

Practical examples:

  • Sending automated replies to users in a Chatwoot conversation.
  • Notifying customers with a text and an optional image attachment based on workflow triggers.
  • Integrating with other n8n nodes to fetch message content dynamically and deliver it via Lola.

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. If enabled, these fields are auto-filled.
Account ID A unique identifier for the account. Required if not loading from Message Composer.
Conversation ID A unique identifier for the conversation. Required if not loading from Message Composer.
Message Text The text of the message to be sent.
Attach Image Whether to attach an image to the message. If enabled, the Image URL field must be provided.
Image URL The URL of the image to attach to the message. Only shown and required if "Attach Image" is enabled.

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 if there was a failure (fail).

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to the Lola messaging API.
  • Credentials: Optionally uses lolaKeyApi credentials if configured.
  • n8n Configuration: No special environment variables are required unless specified by the Lola API integration.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

  • Missing Lola Message Composer Data:
    Error: "No Lola Message Composer node found in the workflow"
    Resolution: Ensure that a Lola Message Composer node precedes this node in the workflow when "Load From Message Composer" is enabled.

  • Unsupported Source:
    Error: "Only Chatwoot messages are supported"
    Resolution: Currently, only messages sourced from Chatwoot are supported. Make sure the incoming data is from Chatwoot.

  • API Errors:
    Any errors thrown by the underlying Lola API will be surfaced as node operation errors.
    Resolution: Check the error message for details, verify credentials, and ensure all required fields are correctly populated.
