Set Up Pick Ticket Status

When an agent has picked up a ticket in the broadcast channel, it will be useful to display the ticket status to keep everyone in the channel on the same page.

As this function is only applicable to Slack, you should create a new tree before proceeding. Please also set up the rest of the Slack commands in this tree.

Getting Hands-on

Enter your Bot Builder and starting building your tree.

Create a Tree Node - Pick Ticket

1. Create a new tree for Slack commands and name it is "Slack Command Tree".

Create the Slack Command Tree

2. In the "Slack Command Tree", create a tree node and create a response. Then, put the following code in Advanced -> Transform:

Add code to transformed response

note

The following code is for displaying the processing ticket status. You can change the processing text in "fallback" under "attachments".

return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
 let name
 if (this.lodash.get(this.member, "profile.first_name")) {
   name = `${this.member.profile.first_name} ${this.member.profile.last_name || ""}`
 } else {
   name = this.lodash.get(this.member, "profile.real_name")
 }
 resolve({
   type: "ATTACHMENT",
   text: this.messageEvent.data.originalMessage.text.replace(/\+/g, " "),
   attachments: [
     {
       text: `Processing by ${name}`,
       fallback: `Processing by ${name}`,
       color: "#36a64f"
     }
   ],
   replaceOriginal: true
 })
})

Create Pick Ticket Message (Optional)

3. If needed. you can also send an automated message to the user when a ticket is picked up by an agent. To do so, you can simply add the following code to the post-actions of the tree node.

   You can customize the text message in text under response.

return new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {
  try {
    let assignmentId = null
    if (this.lodash.get(this.messageEvent, "data.payload.value") !== "GET_FIRST_ASSIGNMENT") {
      assignmentId = this.lodash.get(this.messageEvent, "data.payload.value", null)
    }
    if (assignmentId) {
      const assignment = await this.getAssignment({
        assignmentId
      })
      if (assignment.member) {
        const member = await this.getMember({ memberId: assignment.member })
        let response
        if (/zh/g.test(this.lodash.get(member, "locale", ""))) {
          response = {
            type: "TEXT",
            text: "我們已為您聯繫了我們的代表。"
          }
        } else {
          response = {
            type: "TEXT",
            text: "We have connected you to our representative."
          }
        }
          
        await this.sendMessageToInlet({
          groupId: assignment.group,
          channel: this.channel,
          response,
        })
        console.log("sending message to inlet")
        this.member.group = group
        this.member.inletMember = member
        resolve({
          member: this.member
        })
      }
    }
    reject("Assignment or assignment member not found")
  } catch (e) {
    reject(e)
  }
})

Create a Global Node - Pick Ticket

3. Create a global node and then create a trigger with two conditions (for details on creating conditions, please click here with the and operator:
