About

The Amazon Connect Task javascript library (TaskJS) gives you the power to handle task contacts when used together with Amazon Connect Streams.

To learn more about Amazon Connect and its capabilities, please check out the Amazon Connect User Guide.

Getting Started

Using TaskJS from Github

$ git clone https://github.com/amazon-connect/amazon-connect-taskjs

Including TaskJS

Amazon Connect Streams is required to use TaskJS. Ensure you import TaskJS after Streams.

TaskJs v2.0 requires Streams v2.2 or later.

Building

1. Install latest LTS version of NodeJS
2. Checkout this package into workspace and navigate to root folder
3. npm install
4. To build (non-minified):
   1. npm run devo for a non-minified build.
   2. Find build artifacts in dist directory.
5. To build (minified):
   1. npm run release for a minified build.
   2. Find build artifacts in dist directory.
6. To run unit tests:
   1. npm run test
7. To clean node_modules:
   1. npm run clean
8. To make webpack watch all files:
   1. npm run watch

Find build artifacts in dist directory - This will generate a file called amazon-connect-task.js - this is the full Connect TaskJS API which you will want to include in your page.

Usage:

TaskJS provides a taskSession instance for each task contact. You can access the taskSession by calling the getMediaController method on a taskConnection. getMediaController returns a promise that resolves with a taskSession instance.

For example:

taskConnection.getMediaController().then((taskSession) => { /* ... */ });

Event Handlers

Each of the following event handlers will pass a message object to the callback function containing the following fields:

• AbsoluteTime: UTC timestamp of when the event occurred.
• ContentType: One of the following strings depending on the event:
  • application/vnd.amazonaws.connect.event.transfer.initiated
  • application/vnd.amazonaws.connect.event.transfer.succeeded
  • application/vnd.amazonaws.connect.event.transfer.failed
  • application/vnd.amazonaws.connect.event.expire.warning
  • application/vnd.amazonaws.connect.event.expire.complete
• Id: The contact ID
• InitialContactId: The initial contact id.

taskSession.onTransferInitiated

Subscribe a method to be invoked when the server has initiated the task transfer.

taskSession.onTransferInitiated((message) => console.log("Transfer has initiated"))

taskSession.onTransferSucceeded

Subscribe a method to be invoked when the task transfer has succeeded.

taskSession.onTransferSucceeded((message) => console.log("Transfer has succeeded"))

taskSession.onTransferFailed

Subscribe a method to be invoked when the task transfer has failed.

taskSession.onTransferFailed((message) => console.log("Transfer has failed"))

taskSession.onTaskExpiring

Subscribe a method to be invoked two hours before the task expires.

taskSession.onTaskExpiring((message) => console.log("Task will expire in two hours"))

taskSession.onTaskExpired

Subscribe a method to be invoked when the task has expired.

taskSession.onTaskExpired((message) => console.log("Task has expired"))

taskSession.onMessage

Subscribe a method to be invoked when any one of the above events has occurred.

taskSession.onMessage((message) => console.log("The following event has occurred:", message.ContentType))

    	},
        "reference name 4": { // string, max len: 4096
            type: "DATE", //required, string, one of connect.ReferenceType types

        "reference name 5": { // string, max len: 4096
    		type: "STRING" //required, string, one of connect.ReferenceType types
    		value: "[email protected]" //required, string, max len: 4096
    	}	
    },
    scheduledTime: "number" //optional, UTC timestamp in seconds when the task should be delivered.
};

agent.createTask(newTask, {
	success: function(data) { console.log("Created a task with contact id: ", data.contactId) },
	failure: function(err) { /* ... */ }
});

agent.updateContact()

    references: { //optional, used to specify updated template fields
        "reference name": { // string
