Manage webhooks

All agents created through the RBM Management API use a single webhook for notifications by default. This partner-level webhook is configured in the Business Communications Developer Console and it applies to all agents within your partner account.

Alternatively, you can use the RBM Management API to configure agent-level webhooks. This may be a good option if you manage multiple agents with distinct behavior.

Code snippets on this page are taken from the Java samples and Node.js samples.

Create a webhook integration

To add an agent webhook integration, first define the URL for your webhook and define a validation token. Then configure the webhook to follow the validation steps. Once configured, call the createWebhookIntegration method with the URL and token values. If that call succeeds, you can proceed with verifying and handling incoming messages.

For more details, see brands.agents.integrations and brands.agents.integrations.create.

Node.js

const businessCommunicationsApiHelper =
  require('@google/rbm-businesscommunications');

const privateKey =
  require('../../resources/businesscommunications-service-account-credentials.json');

businessCommunicationsApiHelper.initBusinessCommunucationsApi(privateKey);

const url = 'https://myrbmserviceendpoint.somewhere.com/callback';

const token = '123456';

businessCommunicationsApiHelper
  .createWebhookIntegration(agent.name, url, token)
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2));
  }).catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
  }
);

This code returns the new webhook object:

{
  "name": "brands/40bd963f-ff92-425c-b273-8f0892d2d017/agents/my_new_agent_hfaoplpu_agent/integrations/4efdb82f-fd6d-4ba4-8ea3-f2f4a60d1547",
  "status": "ENABLED",
  "agentWebhookIntegration": {
    "webhookUri": "https://myrbmserviceendpoint.somewhere.com/callback"
  }
}

Look up an agent's webhook integrations

You can retrieve a list of all the webhook integrations belonging to an agent. In practice, an RBM agent only ever has a single webhook integration. For more details, see brands.agents.integrations.list.

Node.js

const businessCommunicationsApiHelper =
  require('@google/rbm-businesscommunications');

const privateKey =
  require('../../resources/businesscommunications-service-account-credentials.json');

businessCommunicationsApiHelper.initBusinessCommunucationsApi(privateKey);

businessCommunicationsApiHelper
  .listAgentIntegrations(agent.name)
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2));
    datastore.saveJsonData('integrations', response.data);
  }).catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
  });

This code returns a list of the agent's webhook integrations:

{
  "integrations": [
    {
      "name": "brands/40bd963f-ff92-425c-b273-8f0892d2d017/agents/my_new_agent_hfaoplpu_agent/integrations/4efdb82f-fd6d-4ba4-8ea3-f2f4a60d1547",
      "status": "ENABLED",
      "agentWebhookIntegration": {
        "webhookUri": "https://myrbmserviceendpoint.somewhere.com/callback"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Look up details of an integration

You can retrieve integration details if you have the reference to an integration. For more details, see brands.agents.integrations.get.

Node.js

const businessCommunicationsApiHelper =
  require('@google/rbm-businesscommunications');

const privateKey =
  require('../../resources/businesscommunications-service-account-credentials.json');

businessCommunicationsApiHelper.initBusinessCommunucationsApi(privateKey);

businessCommunicationsApiHelper
  .getAgentIntegration(integrations.integrations[0].name)
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2));
  }).catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
  });

This code returns the webhook integration details:

{
  "name": "brands/40bd963f-ff92-425c-b273-8f0892d2d017/agents/my_new_agent_hfaoplpu_agent/integrations/4efdb82f-fd6d-4ba4-8ea3-f2f4a60d1547",
  "status": "ENABLED",
  "agentWebhookIntegration": {
    "webhookUri": "https://myrbmserviceendpoint.somewhere.com/callback"
  }
}

Remove a webhook

You can remove a webhook from an agent using its reference. For more details, see brands.agents.integrations.delete.

Node.js

const businessCommunicationsApiHelper =
  require('@google/rbm-businesscommunications');

const privateKey =
  require('../../resources/businesscommunications-service-account-credentials.json');

businessCommunicationsApiHelper.initBusinessCommunucationsApi(privateKey);

businessCommunicationsApiHelper
  .deleteAgentIntegration(integrations.integrations[0].name)
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2));
  }).catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
  });

An empty object is returned:
