• ECE 12.0 Web Services API

Note: Returns true even if no agents - if “Agent Available = Not Required” on the Chat entry Config
When set to “required” this goes true as long as one agent is available.
This correctly checks that the agent is skilled in the specific chat queue.

Caveat: To allowing Chat Queuing this must be set to “Not Required - otherwise you get closed message when no agents available”

HTTP GET

This API does not work as I would expect today. It checks against all agents and not (as is necessary) just the revelant agents skilled for that chat.

Example when 1 agent available that is allowed to handle 3 chats

Response:

Response:

<sessionStatus>
	<ns2:waitTime>6.0</ns2:waitTime>
	<ns2:queueDepth>0</ns2:queueDepth>
	<ns2:altEngmtTime>0</ns2:altEngmtTime>
</sessionStatus>

Response:

<sessionStatus>
	<ns2:waitTime>6.0</ns2:waitTime>
	<ns2:queueDepth>1</ns2:queueDepth>
	<ns2:altEngmtTime>0</ns2:altEngmtTime>
</sessionStatus>

http://ucce-ece-db-12.lab2.purplepi.ie/system/egain/chat/entrypoint/checkEligibility/1001

Response:

<checkEligibility responseType="0"/>

Note - we get a '0' when no agents logged in - if entry point set to Agent Availability Not required.

• 0: The queue associated with this entry point can handle new chats.
• 1: No agent is available to work on new chats.
• 2: Maximum queue depth has reached for the queue associated with the given entry point and no new chats will be processed.

http://ucce-ece-db-12.lab2.purplepi.ie/system/egain/chat/entrypoint/chatAllowed/1001

<chatAllowed allowed="true"/>

Note: Not sure how useful this is that different from Agent Availability. I do not see an ability to set Chat Queue length on ECE - but maybe could do in ICM?
