Manage testers

Before you launch your agent, it can only communicate with designated test devices. Adding testers lets you verify your agent's behavior internally to prevent accidental early access to end-users.

You can use the RBM Management API to add testers, list your test devices, retrieve their invite status, and delete testers when they are no longer needed.

Add a tester to an agent

cURL

curl -v -X POST "https://businesscommunications.googleapis.com/v1/testers" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "User-Agent: curl/business-messaging" \
  -H "`oauth2l header --json rbm-developer-service-account-credentials.json businesscommunications`" \
  -d "{
    'agentId': '$AGENT_ID',
    'phoneNumber': '$MSISDN'
  }"

This code is an excerpt from our RBM Management API sample.

Python

endpoint_url = (BASE_ENDPOINT + 'testers')

body = {
  "agentId": agentId,
  "phoneNumber": msisdn
}

response = authed_session.post(endpoint_url, data=json.dumps(body))
