In the following examples, rbm_api_helper.js
(not used for Python) assumes the
file you are working in is one directory below the main app folder. You may need
to adjust the location depending on your project's configuration.
Read events
Read events let the user know that the agent received the message and provide confidence that the RBM platform delivered their message. The following code sends a read event to a device with a client library.
Node.js
// Reference to RBM API helper const rbmApiHelper = require('@google/rcsbusinessmessaging'); // Send the device an event to indicate that messageId has been read rbmApiHelper.sendReadMessage('+12223334444', messageId);
Java
import com.google.rbm.RbmApiHelper; … // Create an instance of the RBM API helper RbmApiHelper rbmApiHelper = new RbmApiHelper(); // Send the device an event to indicate that messageId has been read rbmApiHelper.sendReadMessage(messageId, "+12223334444");
Python
# Reference to RBM Python client helper and messaging object structure from rcs_business_messaging import rbm_service # Send the device an event to indicate that message_id was read rbm_service.send_read_event('+12223334444', message_id)
C#
using RCSBusinessMessaging; … // Create an instance of the RBM API helper RbmApiHelper rbmApiHelper = new RbmApiHelper(credentialsFileLocation, projectId); // Send the device an event to indicate that messageId has been read rbmApiHelper.SendReadMessage(messageId, "+12223334444");
Typing events
Typing events let the user know that your agent is composing a message. The following code sends a typing event to a device with a client library.
Node.js
// Reference to RBM API helper const rbmApiHelper = require('@google/rcsbusinessmessaging'); // Send the device an event to indicate that the agent is typing rbmApiHelper.sendIsTypingMessage('+12223334444', function() { console.log('Typing event sent!'); });
Java
import com.google.rbm.RbmApiHelper; … // Create an instance of the RBM API helper RbmApiHelper rbmApiHelper = new RbmApiHelper(); // Send the device an event to indicate that the agent is typing rbmApiHelper.sendIsTypingMessage("+12223334444");
Python
# Reference to RBM Python client helper and messaging object structure from rcs_business_messaging import rbm_service # Send the device an event to indicate that the agent is typing rbm_service.send_is_typing_event('+12223334444')
C#
using RCSBusinessMessaging; … // Create an instance of the RBM API helper RbmApiHelper rbmApiHelper = new RbmApiHelper(credentialsFileLocation, projectId); // Send the device an event to indicate that the agent is typing rbmApiHelper.SendIsTypingMessage(messageId, "+12223334444");
