Chat API

Warning
Note that the Chat API Version 1 feature has been deprecated. Please see the related deprecation notice for additional details.


Introduced in release: 8.1.100.14

Overview

Prerequisite: Before using the Chat API, you must configure your Genesys Mobile Services deployment correctly.

The Chat API is used by customer-facing applications to create and manage a chat session associated with contact center-related services. One service is associated with exactly one chat session. There are two types of supported services:

1. Basic Services (Genesys Mobile Services-Based)

  • allows an application to pass business context data in the service creation request, using the fixed service name request-chat
  • no corresponding Orchestration Server (ORS) session will be created
  • data is going to be preserved by Genesys Mobile Services using the specified time to live parameter (or the configured default value)
  • chat interaction could be initiated by an application at any point
  • routing logic associated with specified interaction endpoint (or the configured by default value) would be responsible for finding an appropriate agent
  • both polling and async (CometD) modes of message delivery are supported

2. Advance Services (Genesys Mobile Services + ORS-Based)

  • allows an application to define custom service processing logic
  • an application can create a service session and pass business context data
  • session logic can use agent availability information and notify the application when a chat-enabled resource with the appropriate business skills is available
  • session logic can also engage in pre- and post-chat interaction dialogs with the customer by pushing dialog information to the client application (for example, in URL/HTML/XML form)
  • advance-chat-pool session is provided as an example of the advanced service logic and can be customized to fit particular business needs
  • both polling and async (CometD) modes of message delivery are supported

Important Note: When using asynchronous messaging with CometD, all HTTP headers must include the gms_user header.

Structures

The Chat API uses the data structures described in this section (in JSON format) to exchange data. Requests are accepted in 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' or 'multipart/form-data' formats, and responses are returned in 'application/json' format. If an expected value is missing or incorrect, then a 415 (Unsupported Media Type) error will occur.

Chat Interaction API Resources

The chat interaction is used to represent the current state of the chat session and transcript. This information is returned in the HTTP response of each API request in poll mode or delivered asynchronously in push mode (CometD). Note: you need to create service session before you can create chat interaction.

Quick Start Examples

The following quick start examples show how you can establish a CometD connection to receive asynchronous notification, and how to create a service.

Using CometD to Receive Event Updates

If you are using CometD to get event updates on the chat session then you need to set up a CometD connection with a subscription for /_genesys. You also need to make sure 'gms_user' header in all cometd related requests is set to the value uniquely representing application end user. Typically this value would be setup (or at least verified) by security gateway located between client application and GMS.

Creating a Genesys Mobile Services-Based Service Associated with a Chat Session

The following section illustrates the process of creating and using a service.

Create a Service:

Request: 

POST http://localhost:8080/genesys/1/service/request-chat-poll HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

_verbose=false

Response: 

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2012 08:23:29 GMT
Content-Type: application/json

{"_id":"EKUJPKAQ197CFA6SJQKTJ03DBG00001M"}

Use the _id field from the response to check service status until it changes to "available":

Request: 

POST http://localhost:8080/genesys/1/service/EKUJPKAQ197CFA6SJQKTJ03DBG00001M/status HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Response:

Execute 'internal-poke' request

Note: The internal-poke feature is available in GMS 8.1.100.28 or higher.

This API allows the agent desktop to send poke request to the advanced service session. When the session receives the internal-poke request the poke message is sent to the application as a push notification. Additional config options should be configured for the advanced GMS service to enable this API.

This API is available when,

  • Poke related config options are configured and
  • Service was created with device_os and device_notification_id parameters to enable native push notification are specified and
  • Chat interaction is successfully routed to the agent by the advanced service (implies ixn/chat request was already executed)

'poke_url' is available as attached data in the chat interaction and should be used to invoke this request. Firewall can be configured to allow /internal-* requests to GMS from agent desktop.
