}

Agent State Events

Agent State Events sends notifications every time an agent changes their own state. Predefined states include AVAILABLE, LUNCH, ON BREAK, TRAINING, AWAY, TRANSITION, ENGAGED and WORKING. Even custom states can be created on an account and the agent can select those custom states, however, custom states must also be mapped to a base state and that base state is a fixed set of states. Custom state events only send when you select "Send All Agent States".

Agent State Information

When an agent first logs in, the state events are unique. Two state events are fired with the initial state event transitioning from LOGIN state to AVAILABLE and then a subsequent event for transitioning to "Available" in the agent's aux state.

API Property Description
agent_id An internal unique identifier for the agent
prev_state The state the agent was in before this changed state
prev_aux_state The aux state is the state name shown to the agent before this changed state
agent_phone The agent's phone number for logging in. This can either be their direct number or main number plus extension.
source_ip IP Address where the agent is logging in from
external_agent_id A custom agent ID used for external mappings
duration Amount of time to login
agent_login_id An internal unique agent login identifier
account_id The unique account this agent belongs to
event_type The state the agent selected to be in or is automatically placed in
event_aux_type Similar to the event_type, this is the state the agent chose to be in, but is the name the agent sees in the agent console
date_time The login time in ISO 8601 format
pending_disp [0] if call ended and disposition has not been completed yet.
username The agent's unique username which is typically their email address.
call_id Once the call is connected, a unique call ID is created to identify the call
call_source_id The unique call identifier this call came from
call_source_name The Queue name this call came from
dnis The number called to be put in the queue and eventually routed to the agent. This applies to ACD calls only
call_type The type of call this is, whether inbound dialed calls (ACD) or outbound lead calls (VPD)

  "dnis":"2095550101",
  "call_type":"ACD"
}

After the initial state event, a subsequent state event fires to change the aux state to a state the agent will be able to read. For example, the aux state today shows "Available" to the agent, but that can be customized to read "Ready for Calls".

End Call Events

Call events can be from two types of calls: an inbound call or an outbound call. At the end of a call, details about the call are made available in the call event. These details include the call recording, call duration, the DNIS which the caller dialed, the caller's ANI, and the call state. Call state are the agent dispositions of the call and depend upon being an inbound call or outbound call.

Important

While the recording URL is sent 1-3 seconds after a call is ended, the actual recording takes more time to encode. Depending on the length of the recording, the recording link may not be valid for up to 1-2 minutes after the end call event.
