AGENT API DOCUMENT Started: 2008-07-03
This document describes the functions of an API(Application Programming Interface)
for the VICIDIAL Agent screen. This functionality will be rather limited at first
and will be built upon as critical functions are identified and programmed into it.
There is also a new NON-agent API script, for more information on that, please
read the NON-AGENT_API.txt document.
API functions:
version - shows version and build of the API, along with the date/time
external_hangup - sends command to hangup the current phone call for one specific agent(Hangup Customer)
external_status - sends command to set the disposition for one specific agent and move on to next call
external_pause - sends command to pause/resume an agent now if not on a call, or pause after their next call if on call
external_dial - sends command to manually dial a number on the agent's screen
change_ingroups - changes the selected in-groups for a logged-in agent
update_fields - changes values for selected data fields in the agent interface
set_timer_action - sets timer action for the current call the agent is on
st_login_log - looks up the vicidial_users.custom_three field and logs event from CRM
st_get_agent_active_lead - looks up active lead info for an agent and outputs lead information
ra_call_control - remote agent call control: hangup/transfer calls being handled by remote agents
New scripts:
/agc/api.php - the script that is accessed to execute commands
Required variables for API calls:
# user - is the API user
# pass - is the API user password
# agent_user - is the vicidial agent user whose session that you want to affect
# source - description of what originated the API call (maximum 20 characters)
To hangup the call, disposition it and then pause the agent, do the following in order:
http://server/agc/api.php?source=test&user=6666&pass=1234&agent_user=1000&function=external_pause&value=PAUSE
http://server/agc/api.php?source=test&user=6666&pass=1234&agent_user=1000&function=external_hangup&value=1
http://server/agc/api.php?source=test&user=6666&pass=1234&agent_user=1000&function=external_status&value=A
Response to calls will return either an ERROR or a SUCCESS along with an explanation.
for example:
SUCCESS: external_status function set - 6666|A
ERROR: agent_user is not logged in - 6666
