Events in Salesforce

Note: This article applies to Genesys Cloud for Salesforce.

You can configure the integration to fire or listen for events either in the Salesforce console in Salesforce Classic or in all versions of Lightning Experience (with the postMessage API or Lightning Message Service). The types of events and the way that you fire or listen for them depends on the Salesforce user interface that you use.

Note: This advanced customization article is intended for developers who are familiar with Salesforce.

Important: Genesys recommends that new development for Lightning Experience use Lightning Message Service (LMS), not the postMessage API. Salesforce plans to release LMS in Summer ’20. Genesys will eventually deprecate the use of the postMessage Web API.

Through the event model in the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit, the integration fires and listens for events being raised around the following items:

Status changes (such as Available, Busy, Away, Out of Office, and On Queue)
Call activities (connected, disconnected, ACW required, ACW completed)
Interaction state changes (pickup, disconnect, mute, hold, secure pause, blindTransfer, consultTransfer, concludeTransfer, secureSession)

Developers can create Visualforce pages that use these events. For example code, see Events in Salesforce Classic Console App (GitHub).

For information about the Salesforce console, see Customize a Console with Custom Components in Salesforce Classic in the Salesforce documentation.

For information about using the event model, see the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit for Salesforce Classic in the Salesforce documentation.

For example code, see Events in Salesforce Lightning App (GitHub).

EventsClick to expand

Event name	Description
Handshake	If Window.postMessage API is selected in the Client Event Settings, the integration raises a handshake event whenever the client loads. The handshake event provides the context that Lightning components need to be able to fire events to the Genesys Cloud for Salesforce client.
Interaction	Fires interaction state changes. Possible values: add, change, connect, disconnect, acw, deallocate, callbackPlaced, callbackCallEnded, blindTransfer, consultTransfer, completeConsultTransfer, secureSession.
Notification	Fires notification state changes. Possible values: interactionSelection, chatUpdate, interactionWindow, conversationTranscription, messageUpdate.
UserAction	Fires user action state changes. Possible values: login, logout, station, status, modal, routingStatus, view.

For more information, see Events per subscription type (Genesys Cloud Developer Center) in the Genesys Cloud Embeddable Framework documentation.

Note: All callback parameters described in the Genesys Cloud Embeddable Framework documentation are available in the postMessage data payload along with the added root type. See the Communicate with Genesys Cloud for Salesforce section.

Administrators configure the call center settings so that the integration fires and listens for events.

Create a Lightning component (developers)Click to expand

Create a Lighting component so Salesforce can listen for and fire the events selected in the call center settings.

Add Apex, component, and JavaScript files to the Developer Console in Salesforce.
You can download sample files from the PureCloud for Salesforce Einstein Example repository in GitHub.
For more information, see Developer Console File Menu in the Salesforce documentation.
Set the type and id for source in the JavaScript file.
This setting allows you to change statuses in the client.
```
source.postMessage({
    type: 'PureCloud.User.updateStatus',
    data: { id: status },
}
```
If your administrator configured the integration to fire Interaction, Notification, or UserActions events, subscribe to these events in the JavaScript file.
For more information, see the subscribe method in the Genesys Cloud Embeddable Framework documentation (Genesys Cloud Developer Center).

Through Lightning Message Service, the integration can fire and listen for events being raised around status changes, interaction state changes, and subscriptions to InitialSetup, Interaction, Notification, or UserActions events.

For example code, see Events in Salesforce Lightning App (GitHub).

Subscribe to the message channelClick to expand

To subscribe to the message channel, install version 3.12 or later of the PureCloud for Salesforce managed package. These versions of the managed package include the purecloud__ClientEvent__c channel that receives all messages. After you subscribe to purecloud__ClientEvent__c, Salesforce can listen for and fire the events selected in the call center settings.

The method of implementation varies, depending on the components that you use. The following example code shows how to use LMS with a Lightning Aura component.

Subscribe to Lightning messages on the purecloud__ClientEvent__c channel for an Aura component.

<lightning:messageChannel type="purecloud__ClientEvent__c" aura:id="clientEventMessageChannel" onMessage="{!c.onClientEvent}" scope="APPLICATION"/>

To receive Lightning messages, create an onClientEvent.

({
    onClientEvent: function (component, message, helper) {
        var eventData = message.getParams();
        if (eventData) {
            if(eventData.type === 'Interaction' && eventData.data.id) {
		console.log(‘Interaction ID: ‘ + eventData.data.id);
            }
        }
    }
})

To send Lightning messages, publish the events that the Genesys Cloud for Salesforce client listens for. For a list of events, see the Communicate with Genesys Cloud for Salesforce section.

component.find('clientEventMessageChannel').publish({
    type: 'PureCloud.User.updateStatus',
    data: { id: status }
});

For other examples, see Lightning Message Service [Developer Preview] in the Salesforce Developers Blog.

For more information about the integration, see About Genesys Cloud for Salesforce.
