Purpose

ServicePattern Desktop JavaScript API Specification describes the Desktop JavaScript API that provides access to a number of functions of the ServicePattern Agent Desktop application from the web pages or IFrames loaded into this application from other domains.

For general information about the ServicePattern Agent Desktop application, see ServicePattern Agent Guide. For information about loading web pages into the Agent Desktop from scenarios, see description of the Web Screen Pop block in the ServicePattern Scenario Builder Reference Guide.


Audience

This guide is intended for the IT personnel responsible for the data infrastructure of the ServicePattern-based contact centers. Readers of this guide are expected to have expertise in web application development as well as solid understanding of contact center operations.


General Information

The API supports a number of desktop telephony functions including call initiation, voice and screen recording, interaction completion, and setting of interaction dispositions and notes.

These functions are available via a global object called window.bpspat.api, for example:

window.bpspat.api.dialNumber(“1234567”);

The object is created when the script file is included in the web page loaded into the Agent Desktop application as follows:

<script type="text/javascript" src="[agent-desktop-web-server]/app/libs/servicepatternapi-dev.js"></script>

For example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://barco.brightpattern.com/app/libs/servicepatternapi-dev.js"></script>


Dial Number

Syntax dialNumber(number);
Description Makes a call to the specified number. For more information, see sections How to Make an Internal Call and How to Make an Outbound Call of the ServicePattern Agent Guide.
Parameters number – string containing the number to be dialed; required

Select Service

Syntax selectService(name);
Description Selects the service that will be associated with subsequent call attempts (until another service is selected using this method or via Agent Desktop). For more information, see sections How to Make an Internal Call and How to Make an Outbound Call of the ServicePattern Agent Guide.
Parameters name – string containing the name of the selected service; optional; if omitted or empty, subsequent call attempts will not be associated with any service


Single-Step Transfer

Syntax singleStepTransfer(number);
Description Initiates a single-step (blind) transfer of the current call to the specified number.
Parameters number – string containing the number that the call is to be transferred to; required

Single-Step Conference

Syntax singleStepConference(number);
Description Initiates a single-step conference with the current party on the call and the party at the specified number.
Parameters number – string containing the number that the call is to be conferenced with; required


Terminate Interaction

Syntax terminateInteraction();
Description Unlike Complete Interaction, this method only releases the communication channel of the current interaction. I.e., if after-call work (ACW) is configured for the corresponding service, interaction processing will continue until ACW is completed.


Set Notes

Syntax setNotes(notes);
Description Sets the free-form notes for the current interaction to the specified string.
Parameters notes – string containing the interaction notes


Set Disposition

Syntax setDisposition(dispositionCode);
Description Sets the disposition for the current interaction to the value corresponding to the alphanumeric code specified for this disposition.
Parameters dispositionCode – string containing the numeric code of the desired disposition


Complete Interaction

Syntax completeInteraction();
Description Completes the current interaction. If the interaction requires a disposition in order to be completed, the Agent Desktop will show a warning message.


Complete Interaction with Disposition and Notes

Syntax completeInteractionWithDisp(dispositionCode, notes);
Description Completes the current interaction and sets its disposition and notes to the specified values (i.e., combines the actions of the Set Notes, Set Disposition, and Complete Interaction methods).
Parameters dispositionCode – string containing the alphanumeric code of the desired disposition

notes – string containing the interaction notes


Get Call Recording Status

Syntax getCallRecordingStatus(callback);
Description Requests the current status of voice recording of the current call.
Parameters callback – function that will be called upon completion of the method


Start Call Recording

Syntax startCallRecording(callback);
Description Starts voice recording for the current call. For more information, see section How to Record a Call of the ServicePattern Agent Guide.
Parameters callback – function that will be called upon completion of the method; see Callback
Note Prior to version 3.8, this method was called startCurrentCallRecording(); backward compatibility is preserved


Stop Call Recording

Syntax stopCallRecording(callback);
Description Stops voice recording for the current call.
Parameters callback – function that will be called upon completion of the method; see Callback
Note Prior to version 3.8, this method was called stopCurrentCallRecording(); backward compatibility is preserved


Mute Call Recording

Syntax muteCallRecording(callback);
Description Mutes voice recording for the current call. Unlike Stop Call Recording, this method will continue voice recording for the current call, but any voice signal will be replaced with silence.
Parameters callback – function that will be called upon completion of the method


Unmute Call Recording

Syntax unmuteCallRecording(callback);
Description Unmutes the previously muted voice recording for the current call.
Parameters callback – function that will be called upon completion of the method


Get Screen Recording Status

Syntax getScreenRecordingStatus(callback);
Description Requests the current status of screen recording of the user session.
Parameters callback – function that will be called upon completion of the method


Stop Screen Recording

Syntax stopScreenRecording(callback);
Description Stops screen recording of the user session.
Parameters callback – function that will be called upon completion of the method


Pause Screen Recording

Syntax pauseScreenRecording(callback);
Description Pauses screen recording of the user session. For the period when screen recording is paused, the recording will contain a static snapshot of the desktop at the moment when pause was applied.
Parameters callback – function that will be called upon completion of the method


Resume Screen Recording

Syntax resumeScreenRecording(callback);
Description Resumes the previously paused screen recording of the user session.
Parameters callback – function that will be called upon completion of the method


Callback

Syntax callback = function(data) {

data.recording = 1/0;

data.muted = 1/0;

data.paused = 1/0;

}

Description Function that is called upon completion of the call/screen recording methods.
Parameters data.recording – boolean; indicates if voice/screen recording is currently in progress; note that voice recording is applied to interactions (calls), while screen recording is applied to user sessions

data.muted – boolean; indicates if voice recording is currently muted; returned only for the voice recording methods

data.paused – boolean; indicates if screen recording is currently paused; returned only for the screen recording methods
