Redis Chat Memory

Persist memory in Redis

Usage and specifics

sessionKey separates conversations; maxMessages bounds history. Select read, append or clear. Redis and PostgreSQL variants need connections; simple memory and the manager use the nodulz database.

Technical type : ai_redis_chat_memory. Runtime : nodulz.

Credentials and prerequisites

Create and configure the credential : redis

Create credentials in your nodulz instance’s Credentials area, then select them on the node. Availability depends on ownership and sharing. See the credentials guide for access and rotation.

Parameters

Names below are technical keys. Defaults are not a ready-to-run configuration: complete fields required by your operation. Paths containing [] describe list items; some fields depend on the selected mode.

Parameter	Type	Default	Values / limits
`operation`	`enum`	`"append"`	`load`, `save`, `clear`, `append`
`sessionKey`	`string`	`"default"`	-
`sessionScope`	`enum`	`"workflow"`	`workflow`, `shared`
`varKey`	`string`	`"ai_memory"`	-
`role`	`enum`	`"user"`	`user`, `assistant`, `system`
`content`	`string`	`""`	-
`maxMessages`	`number`	`20`	-; ≥ 1, ≤ 10000
`credentialId`	`string`	-	-

Configuration help

operation Operation: Load, save, append, or clear conversation history.
sessionScope Conversation scope: Workflow scope isolates conversations by workflow and memory node. Shared scope reuses the key across workflows belonging to the same owner. New memories are isolated by default.
sessionKey Session key: Identifies a conversation session (multiple agents can share).
varKey Workflow variable: Workflow variable where history is stored or read.
role Message role: Role of the appended message (user, assistant, system).
content Content: Message content to add to memory.
maxMessages Max messages: Maximum number of messages kept in history.
credentialId Credential: Credential required to access the external service.

Initial configuration

Initial catalog configuration example, to adapt before running. Keep secrets in credentials.

json

{
  "operation": "append",
  "sessionKey": "default",
  "sessionScope": "workflow",
  "varKey": "ai_memory",
  "role": "user",
  "content": "",
  "maxMessages": 20
}

Verification

Test with representative data. Check node output in the inspector and logs, then use editor mapping for downstream fields. A trigger test with a simulated payload does not validate external service delivery.
