Lightning Console disabling tab closing

On October 21, 2018 By Raj VakatiIn Live Agent, Service Cloud

In this blog, I will show one of the coolest features of the console to disable the close record action on Lightning experience. In this example, if any high priority cases are created, case description is required to close the tab otherwise we will be disabling the close icon on the tab. we can use a console API to prevent agents from closing tabs until they’ve completed all required work on a case. The console API can disable a tab from closing using the disableTabClose method. You can prevent tabs from being closed in two ways:

Disable a primary tab. Its subtabs remain unlocked unless disableTabClose is invoked on them individually.
Disable a subtab. This also disables its enclosing primary tab.

disableTabClose is fully supported when you click the close-tab icon or when invoked via API. Other ways of invoking it aren’t fully supported and may not behave as you want them to. Macros aren’t fully supported. If disableTabClose is invoked via a macro, the error message might not appear, but the agent still won’t be able to close the tab in most cases. And of course, we can only lead a horse to water. An agent can still close the browser window. But hey, can’t say we didn’t try!

Tab behavior when records are deleted

When a primary tab is disabled and its record is deleted, that whole set of tabs (primary + subtabs) automagically closes.

When a subtab is disabled and its record is deleted, the subtab remains open but refreshes as a blank tab (although any sidebar components will render).

Code

Here is the simple code.

public class DisableCloseTab {
    
    public static DisableCloseTabService service = new DisableCloseTabService();
    @AuraEnabled 
    public static boolean disableCase(String caseId){
        return service.getDisbaleStatus(caseId);
    }
    
}

public class DisableCloseTab {

public static DisableCloseTabService service = new DisableCloseTabService();

@AuraEnabled

public static boolean disableCase(String caseId){

return service.getDisbaleStatus(caseId);

}

public class DisableCloseTabService {
    public boolean getDisbaleStatus(String caseId){
        Case c = [Select id ,Priority , Description from Case where Id = :caseId];
        if(c.Priority=='High' && c.Description==null){
            return true ; 
        }else{
            return false ;
        }
    }
}

public class DisableCloseTabService {

public boolean getDisbaleStatus(String caseId){

Case c = [Select id ,Priority , Description from Case where Id = :caseId];

if(c.Priority=='High' && c.Description==null){

return true ;

}else{

return false ;

}

Now add the DisableTabClose.cmp to the record page anywhere as shown below

Testing

Now open any high priority record without description .the close tab button is disabled as shown below.

Now open any high priority record with description .the close tab button is enabled as shown below.

Live Agent Deployment API

On November 2, 2017May 14, 2018 By Raj VakatiIn Live Agent

Introduction

In this blog, I am going to explain how to use the live agent deployment API to find and create records and how to customize chat buttons and chat window. Live agent deployment API has the number of options to customize the live agent like Logging and controlling the live agent online and offline behaviors and allow automatically creating records and suggest the knowledge article etc. Below is the code from where you will launch your live agent normally it might be your webpage or visual force page from sites etc.

Understand the code

Live agent logging will be very useful if you wanted to troubleshoot the live agent. You can enable the Logging by simple liveagent.enableLogging(); the method which results in the debugging as shown below on browser console.

The below piece of code shown what to do when the agent is online or offline.The showWhenOnline or showWhenOffline method to specify customers see when a particular button is online or offline based on the agent status. the below code we specify the button id to show the status liveagent_button_online_5736A000000gBrn , liveagent_button_offline_5736A000000gBrn .

liveagent.showWhenOnline('5736A000000gBrn', document.getElementById('liveagent_button_online_5736A000000gBrn'));

liveagent.showWhenOffline('5736A000000gBrn', document.getElementById('liveagent_button_offline_5736A000000gBrn'));

liveagent.showWhenOnline('5736A000000gBrn', document.getElementById('liveagent_button_online_5736A000000gBrn'));

liveagent.showWhenOffline('5736A000000gBrn', document.getElementById('liveagent_button_offline_5736A000000gBrn'));

The below code request a chat from a button in a new window when you click on chat button by calling liveagent.startChat method.

<img id="liveagent_button_online_5736A000000gBrn" style="display: none; border: 0px none; cursor: pointer" 
             onclick="liveagent.startChat('5736A000000gBrn')" src="https://5dfg34-developer-edition.na50.force.com/resource/1505938566000/ttttteee__Chat_Agent_Online" />

Find and Create Records
Use the Deployment API to search for or create Salesforce records like a case, contact, account, or lead automatically when an agent begins a chat with a customer.addCustomDetail methods as Adds a new custom detail for the chat visitor.

   /* Adds a custom detail called Contact Email and sets it value to testuser@gmail.com */
        liveagent.addCustomDetail('Contact E-mail', 'testuser@gmail.com');
        
        /* Creates a custom detail called First Name and sets the value to test */
        liveagent.addCustomDetail('First Name', 'test');
        
        /* Creates a custom detail called Last Name and sets the value to user */
        liveagent.addCustomDetail('Last Name', 'user');
        
        /* Creates a custom detail called Phone Number and sets the value to 415-555-1212 */
        liveagent.addCustomDetail('Phone Number', '415-555-1212');

/* Adds a custom detail called Contact Email and sets it value to testuser@gmail.com */

liveagent.addCustomDetail('Contact E-mail', 'testuser@gmail.com');

/* Creates a custom detail called First Name and sets the value to test */

liveagent.addCustomDetail('First Name', 'test');

/* Creates a custom detail called Last Name and sets the value to user */

liveagent.addCustomDetail('Last Name', 'user');

/* Creates a custom detail called Phone Number and sets the value to 415-555-1212 */

liveagent.addCustomDetail('Phone Number', '415-555-1212');

The Custom Detail is displayed to agents in the footer widget and in the Chat Details page in the Salesforce Console while the chat is active as shown below.

Use the findOrCreate method to find existing records or create new ones based on certain criteria. The findOrCreate method begins the API call that finds existing records or creates new records when an agent begins a
chat with a customer. The below code show to find and create records and store it to the live agent transcript and suggesting the knowledge articles.

  /* An auto-query that searches Contacts whose Email field exactly matches 'testuser@gmail.com'. If no result is found, it will create a Contact record with the email, first name, last name, and phone number fields set to the custom detail values. */
        liveagent.findOrCreate('Contact').map('Email','Contact E-mail',true,true,true).map('FirstName','First Name',false,false,true).map('LastName','Last Name',false,false,true).map('Phone','Phone Number',false,false,true);
        
        /* The contact that's found or created will be saved or associated to the chat transcript. The contact will be opened for the agent in the Console and the case is linked to the contact record */
        liveagent.findOrCreate('Contact').saveToTranscript('ContactId').showOnCreate().linkToEntity('Case','ContactId');
        
        /* Creates a custom detail called Case Subject and sets the value to 'Refund policy for products' and will perform a knowledge search when the chat is accepted for the agent */
        liveagent.addCustomDetail('Case Subject','Refund policy for products').doKnowledgeSearch();
        
        /* Creates a custom detail called Case Status and sets the value to 'New' */
        liveagent.addCustomDetail('Case Status','New');
        
        /* This does a non-exact search on cases by the value of the 'Case Subject' custom detail If no results are found, it will create a case and set the case's subject and status.
The case that's found or created will be associated to the chat and the case will open in the Console for the agent when the chat is accepted */
        liveagent.findOrCreate('Case').map('Subject','Case Subject',true,false,true).map('Status','Case Status',false,false,true).saveToTranscript('CaseId').showOnCreate();

In the above code, we are trying o find the contact and if not available the create a new contact also searches for records that contain customer data specified by the addCustomDetail Deployment API method. findOrCreate.saveToTranscript method to save the record you find or create the chat transcript associated
with the chat. Use the findOrCreate.showOnCreate method to automatically open the record you create in a subtab in the Salesforce console. findOrCreate.linkToEntity method to link the record you found or created to another record type. The below image shows the search results on the console chat

liveagent.addCustomDetail(‘Case Subject’,’Refund policy for products’).doKnowledgeSearch() method search for Knowledge articles as shown below when customer is chat with agent.

Live agent Pre-Chat Forms with Validations

On November 2, 2017November 2, 2017 By Raj VakatiIn Live Agent

Introduction

In this post, I am going to explain how to set Pre-Chat form to collect information from visitors and customers the pre-chat page as well.Pre-chat information can help direct chat requests more efficiently and reduce the time agents spend collecting the information themselves to resolve the cases.

Understand Pre Chat API

Use the Pre-Chat API to search for or create customer records automatically when a customer completes a pre-chat form. Here is the list of methods that you can use in pre-chat API

findOrCreate.map
Searches for or creates records that contain the customer data that’s specified in the pre-chat form that the customer completes. You can call the findOrCreate.map method as many times as necessary to find the appropriate records. You can list multiple fields and their corresponding details to map the detail values to the appropriate fields within the record as shown below .Here findOrCreate.map is maps the contact first name and last name with pre-chat form first name and last name.

 <input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.map:Contact"
               value="FirstName,FirstName;LastName,LastName;Email,Email;Phone,Phone"
               />
        <input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.map:Case"
               value="Subject,chatReason;Description,TopicDetails"
               />

<input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.map:Contact"

value="FirstName,FirstName;LastName,LastName;Email,Email;Phone,Phone"

<input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.map:Case"

value="Subject,chatReason;Description,TopicDetails"

findOrCreate.map.doFind

Use the findOrCreate.map.doFind method to specify which fields to search against existing customer records when a customer completes a pre-chat form.Here is the code that searches the contact based on the pre-chat form email.

   <input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.map.doFind:Contact"
               value="Email,true" />

1 2	<input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.map.doFind:Contact" value="Email,true" />

findOrCreate.map.isExactMatch

Specifies which fields in your findOrCreate.map method require an exact field value match when you search for existing records.

 <input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.map.isExactMatch:Contact"
               value="Email,true" />

1 2	<input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.map.isExactMatch:Contact" value="Email,true" />

findOrCreate.map.doCreate

Use the findOrCreate.map.doCreate method to specify which fields in findOrCreate.map method to use to create a new record if an existing record isn’t found. Specifies which fields in your findOrCreate.map method to use to create a new record if an existing record isn’t found. You can specify one or more fields for creating new records.

<input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.map.doCreate:Contact"
               value="FirstName,true;LastName,true;Email,true;Phone,true" />

1 2	<input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.map.doCreate:Contact" value="FirstName,true;LastName,true;Email,true;Phone,true" />

findOrCreate.saveToTranscript

Use the findOrCreate.saveToTranscript method to find or create a record and save it to the chat transcript associated with the chatSaves the record that you found or created using the findOrCreate.map.doCreate or findOrCreate.map.doFind
Pre-Chat API methods to the chat transcript associated with the chat when the chat ends.

 <input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.saveToTranscript:Contact"
               value="ContactId" />
        <input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.saveToTranscript:Case"
               value="CaseId" />

<input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.saveToTranscript:Contact"

value="ContactId" />

<input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.saveToTranscript:Case"

value="CaseId" />

findOrCreate.showOnCreate

Use the findOrCreate.showOnCreate method to find or create a record and automatically open it in a subtab in the Salesforce console.Opens the record you created using the findOrCreate.map.doCreate and findOrCreate.map.doFind Pre-Chat API methods automatically in a subtab in the to the Salesforce console.

 <input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.showOnCreate:Contact" value="true"
               />
        <input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.showOnCreate:Case" value="true"
               />

<input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.showOnCreate:Contact" value="true"

<input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.showOnCreate:Case" value="true"

findOrCreate.linkToEntity

Links the record you’ve found or created using the findOrCreate.map.doFind and findOrCreate.map.doCreate methods to another record of a different record type that you created using a separate findOrCreate.map API call. For example,
you can link a case record you found within your organization to a contact record you create. The findOrCreate.linkToEntity method can’t be used to populate fields on records that you create by using the findOrCreate API call. Instead, use the findOrCreate.map method to update field values on records.

  <input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.linkToEntity:Contact"
               value="Case,ContactId" />

1 2	<input type="hidden" name="liveagent.prechat.findorcreate.linkToEntity:Contact" value="Case,ContactId" />

Live Agent post chat page

On November 2, 2017 By Raj VakatiIn Live Agent

Live agent post chat page allows you to share the details with customers at the end of a chat session. For example, you can direct your customers to another
Web page after they complete a chat with an agent, or forward them to a survey about their chat experience. You can create a Visualforce page to host your post-chat page, or you can develop a page on your own and add the URL to your chat
button configuration.
