Lola Profile Node
Join our community

Overview

The Lola Profile node allows you to either retrieve ("Get") or update ("Set") a user's profile information within the Lola system. This node is useful in workflows where you need to fetch user details based on a channel identifier (such as phone number, email, or Telegram ID), or update user attributes like name, contact info, date of birth, and custom metadata.

Common scenarios:

  • Fetching a user's profile for personalization or verification.
  • Updating user profiles with new information collected from forms, chatbots, or integrations.
  • Storing additional metadata about users for segmentation or analytics.

Practical examples:

  • Retrieve a user's profile using their phone number when they interact with your chatbot.
  • Update a user's email and add custom metadata after they complete a registration form.

Output

  • For "Get" operation:
    The output will be the input item(s) with an added field:

    {
  "lola_profile": { /* profile data returned by Lola */ }
}
    • lola_profile: Contains the full profile object retrieved for the specified user channel identifier.

  • For "Set" operation:
    The output will be the same as the input items. No additional fields are added to the output.

  • Binary Data:
    This node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • May require credentials named lolaKeyApi if configured.
  • Relies on external functions (getProfile, setProfile) likely interacting with the Lola API/service.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Required Fields:
    • If "User Channel Identifier" (for Get) or "User Identifier" (for Set) is missing, the node may throw an error indicating a required parameter is missing.
  • Invalid Date Format:
    • For "Date of Birth", ensure the value is in YYYY-MM-DD format; otherwise, errors may occur during processing.
  • Metadata Issues:
    • Ensure that metadata keys are unique and values are valid strings or JSON objects as appropriate.
  • API Errors:
    • If the underlying Lola service/API is unreachable or returns an error, the node may fail with a message from the API.
