This topic is part of the manual Service Client API Reference for version Current of Developer.

Learn how to use the Service Client API to customize the way your web application integrates with Agent Desktop.

Important
You must contact your Genesys representative to configure Agent Desktop to use the Service Client API.
Use the Service Client API to customize how your web application or website integrates with Agent Desktop. This JavaScript API is based on window.postMessage and provides methods your application can use to communicate cross domain with Agent Desktop while maintaining secured isolation.

Getting started

Here's an overview of the steps to access the API:

  1. You have a web application that you've integrated in Agent Desktop—contact your Genesys representative to enable integration of web applications in Agent Desktop.
  2. Download the sample application from GitHub.
  3. Copy the wwe-service-client-api.js file in the sample application to a location your web application can access.
  4. Set configuration options related to security—contact your Genesys representative to provision this security configuration.
  5. Review Working with the API for more information about how to use the API.
  6. Review the methods and types available in each namespace:
  7. See Common actions with Service Client API for ideas about how to use the API.

Working with the API

After you've completed the setup and security steps, you're ready to start working with the Service Client API. The first thing you need to do is add a <script> tag to your web application that points to the wwe-service-client-api.js file (remember, you stored it somewhere accessible in Step 3 above).

Now you can access the API through the genesys.wwe.service namespace. For example:
<html>
<head>
<script src="wwe-service-client-api.js"></script>
<script>

function test() {
genesys.wwe.service.sendMessage({
request: "agent.get"
}, function(result) {
console.debug("SUCCEEDED, result: " + JSON.stringify(result, null, '\t'));
}, function(result) {
console.debug("FAILED, result: " + JSON.stringify(result, null, '\t'));
});
}

function eventHandler(message)
{
console.debug("Event: " + JSON.stringify(message, null, '\t'));
}

genesys.wwe.service.subscribe([ "agent", "interaction" ], eventHandler, this);

</script>
</head>
<body>
Hello world
</body>
</html>
Here's an example of how you could modify attached data:
genesys.wwe.service.interaction.setUserData("1",
{
MyKEY1: "MyValue1",
MyKEY2: "MyValue2"
})
In the above example, the request is interaction.setUserData and the parameters are the interactionId of 1 and the keyValues of MyKEY1 and MyKEY2. All methods provided in the Service Client API are asynchronous, so to get the successful or failed result, just add the matching callback:
genesys.wwe.service.interaction.setUserData("1",
{
MyKEY1: "MyValue1",
MyKEY2: "MyValue2"
}, function(result){
console.debug("SUCCEEDED, result: " + JSON.stringify(result, null, '\t'));
}, function(result){
console.debug("FAILED, result: " + JSON.stringify(result, null, '\t'));
})
The global template for a service call is:
genesys.wwe.service.<Service name>.<Service function>(<... function parameters ...>, [<optional done() callback>, [<optional fail() callback>]]);
The done() callback is called when a request is successfully sent without an error.

The fail() callback is called when a request generates an error or an exception.

The result of these functions is provided in a JSON object as a unique parameter.

Notifications

You can use the following code to subscribe to agent and interaction notifications:
function eventHandler(message)
{
console.debug("Event: " + JSON.stringify(message, null, '\t'));
}

genesys.wwe.service.subscribe([ "agent", "interaction" ], eventHandler, context);
In the above example, eventHandler is the event handler function and context is an optional contextual object. Here's an example with an agent STATE_CHANGED to Ready:
{
"event": "agent",
"data": {
"eventType": "STATE_CHANGED",
"mediaState": "READY"
}
}
Here's an example with an agent STATE_CHANGED to Not Ready with a reason:
{
"event": "agent",
"data": {
"eventType": "STATE_CHANGED",
"mediaState": "NOT_READY_ACTION_CODE",
"reason": "Break",
"reasonCode": "1511"
}
}
Finally, here's an example with an ATTACHED_DATA_CHANGED event on a voice interaction:
{
"event": "interaction",
"data": {
"eventType": "ATTACHED_DATA_CHANGED",
"media": "voice",
"interaction": {
"interactionId": "1",
"caseId": "4dda1ab6-aeab-4a33-f5d0-0153c9fdb43b",
"userData": {
"IWAttachedDataInformation": {
"DispositionCode.Label": "DispositionCode",

"Option.interaction.case-data.frame-color": "#17849D"
},
"IW_CaseUid": "4dda1ab6-aeab-4a33-f5d0-0153c9fdb43b",
"IW_BundleUid": "dfaca66c-4149-42a1-7244-337e949a12b5"
},
"parties": [
{
"name": "5001"
}
],
"callUuid": "4L6JGNEE9H7DT671FRPTKE6CQ000000G",
"state": "DIALING",
"previousState": "UNKNOWN",
"isConsultation": false,
"direction": "OUT",
"callType": "Internal",
"dnis": "5001",
"isMainCaseInteraction": true
}
}
}

Common actions with Service Client API

The following sections show some common actions you can perform with Service Client API:

Controlling call recording from a third-party application

Review the following methods for details about call recording control:

The call recording state is stored in the recordingState attribute on the interaction.Interaction object.

Embedding multiple third-party applications in Agent Desktop

You can now set the interaction.web-content option to a list of option section names that correspond to web extension views. This means that you can configure Agent Desktop to include more than one third-party web application, displayed as either a tab, a popup window, in the background at the interaction level, or hidden.

You should also make sure that the service-client-api.accepted-web-content-origins option references all the websites that should use the Service Client API.

Contact your Genesys representative to enable embedding multiple third-party applications in Agent Desktop.

Updating attached data from a third-party application

Review the following methods for details about updating attached data:

The user data is stored in the userData attribute on the interaction.Interaction object.

You should also be sure to configure the options related to user data in the Service Client section of Agent Setup to enable read and write access to user data.

Enabling click-to-dial from a third-party application

If you configure Agent Desktop to display your web application in a new tab in the Agent Desktop user interface, then the service API only gives access to the dial operation.

Enabling Service Client API to invoke toast in Agent Desktop

Review the following methods for details about enabling and updating toast:

Controlling case selection from a third-party application

Review the following method for details about case selecting control:

The case selection state is stored in the isCaseSelected attribute and the isCaseExpanded attribute on the interaction.Interaction object.

Supporting multiple browser tabs

Service Client API supports multiple browser tabs in a session. The API uses the concept of a leader tab and following tab or tabs. When multiple tabs are open, certain actions (typically automatic) are performed only by the leader tab, such as auto-answer for chat, email, and voice interactions, and contact management in Universal Contact Server. The API also tracks which tab was the last active because some actions are performed only by this tab, such as sounds, toasts, and supervisor-forced log out.

The state of a given browser tab is determined by an internal election process, which can be triggered when an agent closes a leader tab. The state is exposed through the data.frameState property on system events. The frameState property has three possible values:

  • LEADING: The election happened and this tab is the leader.
  • FOLLOWING: The election happened and this tab is a follower.
  • NEGOTIATING: The election is in progress and no tab is a leader or follower until the election is finished.
You can subscribe to system events as follows:
function eventHandler(message) {
  switch (message.event) {
    case 'system':
      log('Received system event: ', JSON.stringify(message, null, '\t'));
      break;
    default:
      break;
  }
}

genesys.wwe.service.subscribe(['system'], eventHandler, this);
When an election is triggered, you should see these types of system events:
Received system event:
{
    "event": "system",
    "data": {
        "frameState": "LEADING"
    },
    "userAgent": "WWE Server",
    "protocolVersion": 2
}
 
Received system event:
{
    "event": "system",
    "data": {
        "frameState": "NEGOTIATING"
    },
    "userAgent": "WWE Server",
    "protocolVersion": 2
}
Service Client API provides some helper functions through the System namespace to determine the state of a tab:

Service Client API updates the attached data for an interaction in the leader tab with a new caseId on eventType CASE_ID_CHANGED. 

{
    "event": "interaction",
    "data": {
        "eventType": "CASE_ID_CHANGED",
        "caseId": "e6470563-af78-4942-657d-976a25dd9de3",
        "previousCaseId": "5f7e5f3a-fb6e-43f3-c404-eaee21d64ef1"
    },
    "userAgent": "WWE Server",
    "protocolVersion": 2
}
