Product Events

Events that occur in the Freshchat product, such as initiating a conversation or resolving a conversation, are termed as product events. You can enable product events to trigger apps. To do this, configure event listeners in the manifest.json file. When a product event occurs, the corresponding event listener invokes a callback method defined in server.js. The app logic in the callback method runs with the help of the event-specific payload passed to the callback method.

Note: The serverless component of the app is executed in sandbox mode where some methods, such as setTimeout and setInterval, cannot be used.

Configure Events

To register a product event and the corresponding callback:

  1. From your app’s root directory, navigate to the manifest.json file.
  2. Include the events attribute, specifying the product event and the corresponding callback methods as follows:

    5
    		"events": {
  "<eventName>": {
      "handler": "<eventCallbackMethod>"
  }
}

    Note: Include only one callback method for an event. Multiple events can access the same callback method.

  3. Navigate to the server.js file.
  4. In the exports block, enter the callback function definition as follows:

      // args["iparam"] will contain the installation parameter values
      //eventCallbackMethod is the call-back function name specified in manifest.json
      eventCallbackMethod: function(args) {
        console.log("Logging arguments from the event: " + JSON.stringify(payload));
      }};

Payload Attributes

When a product event occurs, an event-specific payload is passed to the callback method.

    Testing
    Notes:
    • To test a serverless app, use the latest version of Chrome.
    • As testing is only a simulation of events, actual data or record associated with the event is not created in the back-end. To create actual data and then test your event, publish your app as a custom app and test the events manually.
    • Ensure that the JSON files that contain the sample payloads to test events, are available at <app's root directory>/server/test_data.

    To simulate an event and test your app:

    1. From the command line, navigate to the directory that contains the app related files and run the following command.$ fdk run

    2. In the address bar of the browser, enter https://localhost:10001/web/test. A dialog box is displayed.

    3. Click Select an event. The list of all events configured in the server.js file is displayed.

    4. Select an event. The corresponding payload is displayed. To test a different scenario other than the default, edit the payload.

    5. Click Simulate. If the event is successfully simulated, the Simulate button changes to a Success button. If the event simulation fails because of invalid payload data, the Simulate button changes to a Failed button. Modify the payload appropriately and click Simulate.
