Flowise + elevenlabs (text to speech)

[Warcylewis]

Hey community,
I would love to get your help on this or thoughts on how potential solve my issue:
Goal:
I want to create a flowise chatbot that can also read his own message out loud with elevenlabs (https://www.npmjs.com/package/elevenlabs-node)

What I have done so far:
-I installed the elevenlabs node in flowise/packages/components like any external node dependency should be in the project (at least what I saw on other youtube videos)
-this created in my package.json""elevenlabs-node": "^2.0.1"
-I then yarn install & build & start to go for local:3000 -> created a custome tool
-> ran it "create a voice message of XYZ"

Problem:
"can't find module 'elevenlabs-node"

QUESTION:
what am I doing wrong or potential have forgotten to do?

Output:
[agent/action] [1:chain:AgentExecutor] Agent selected action: {

@Warcylewis you have to specify the library in the .env variable - TOOL_FUNCTION_EXTERNAL_DEP

It looks like the issue is that the elevenlabs-node package isn’t installed where the Flowise runtime can find it. Try installing it at the root of the Flowise project with yarn add elevenlabs-node, then run yarn build and restart the server. Also, double-check your import statements to make sure you’re importing the module correctly. Let me know if you want a quick example of how to integrate it in a custom tool!
