How to work with the BoldChat API

How to dynamically instruct Bold360 AI to escalate a ticket into custom email addresses using an API?

You can tell Bold360 AI to send the ticket to additional email addresses by adding the targetEmailRecipient form value.

Example:
 
_nRepData["formValues"].push(["targetEmailRecipient", "direct", "target@email.com"]);

Replace target@email.com with your email address.

Example:
 

To send each ticket to the support team manager, add this line:

_nRepData["formValues"].push(["targetEmailRecipient", "direct", "supportTeamManager@myCompany.com"]);

How to set up user emails with the BoldChat API?

You can use the BoldChat API to update user emails without logging in to BoldChat.

Important: you must have the following account information to make a successful API call:

Your account ID (AID) that you can get by logging in to setup.boldchat.com.

In the example below, AID is 2648701413998819186

An API settings ID that you can create in the Setup > Account Setup > APIs > API Settings menu in the BoldChat Operator Client.

In the examples below, the API settings ID is 4156437641927623076

For your convenience, we have provided a sample API test page that you can use at https://developer.bold360.com/help/EN/Bold360API/Bold360API/jsonpapi.html

To change user email addresses, do the following:

  1. Retrieve LoginIDs with the getOperators API call as described in https://developer.bold360.com/help/EN/Bold360API/Bold360API/c_data_extraction_list_data_getOperators.html

    The following is an example API call:

How do I specify Knowledge Base dynamically using an API?

Note: Use this reference for Arcade and Modern widgets.
The following API allows you to specify the name or ID of the Knowledge Base domain to be used.
Important: If you have already customized a domain for the current URL, the API cannot be used.
_nRepData["kb"] = "hebrew";
// or 
_nRepData["kb"] = "496477";

To use the API for a specific widget add the following:

_nRepData["embed"] =
{ 
  "kb": "hebrew"
}

HTTPS will be enforced across all Bold360ai web application touchpoints going forward and HTTP-only widget configurations will no longer be supported as of December 31, 2021

Access to the Genesys DX AI management (*.nanorep.co) will only be accessible through HTTPS.

Why is this happening?

Encrypted communication is essential for safe transmission of data between the web server and browsers. Unlike HTTP, HTTPS establishes a secure connection by encrypting data. 
If an application does not use HTTPS, it is vulnerable to information disclosure and MITM attacks which attempt to strip encryption between the server and the client.

Changes in the Bold360ai 

After the change is introduced to the servers, you can only reach the servers through HTTPS. Servers are going to deny ALL HTTP requests.

Required actions

Bold360ai admin site
  • Visit your admin site only through HTTPS
  • Update any HTTP protocol bookmarks  to HTTPS.

  If admins try to reach the site through HTTP, the server denies access.

Deployed widgets
  • Redeploy widgets where the configuration does not enforce HTTPS communication.

 Widgets use the protocol of the site visitor, so if the widget does not enforce HTTPS communication, the widget appears broken to the visitor.

 NoteThe change does not affect widgets with enforced HTTPS configuration.

API endpoint calls
  • Update the address of your servers with the HTTPS protocol, so all API calls use the right address.

API calls where the protocol is HTTP get a deny response from the server.

 

How to create an API key in Bold360 AI

API keys enable you to utilize the API capabilities of Bold360 AI.

An API key is a unique identifier that you can use to integrate other systems like Bold360 Agent with Bold360 AI. You can define multiple API keys, and each one may have its own permissions.

  1. In the AI Console, go to Admin Center > API keys and select Add API Key.

  2. Name your API key at the top of the page.

    Example: If you're creating an API key for integration with Bold360 Agent, you could use the Bold360 Live Chat name.

  3. Under Permissions, select the permissions for this API key.

    Example: If you're creating an API key for integration with Bold360 Agent, grant Write access for all categories.

    Important: If you define Write permissions, restrict access to either IP ranges or referrer domains.
  4. Under Allowed knowledge bases, select the knowledge bases that this API key can access.
  5. Under Allowed IP ranges, you can restrict access to specific IP addresses or ranges.

    Enter either a single IP or a range of IPs. You can define one IP or an IP range per line. If you don't want to apply restrictions, you can indicate by enabling Allow All IP Ranges or by entering 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255.

  6. Under Allowed referrers, you may restrict access to requests originating from specific referrer domains.

    Enter one domain per line.

  7. Choose Generate API Key.
What's Next? Copy the API key to use it during setting up the integration. Follow these steps to integrate Bold360 AI with Bold360 Agent.

Yes. Bold360 is a one-stop-shop for omni-channel engagement including chat, email, message management, remote access, and co-browse. The Bold360 API provides an interface for communicating with an application and allows you to customize how Bold360 and BoldChat integrate with your applications.

The Bold360 API is a tool for retrieving information related to your Bold360 account and based on that information, recreate most of the functionality that Bold360 offers. Bold360 API calls are launched by triggers that contain the conditions of making an API call. When a user on your website clicks an element, such as a chat button, an API can be called to extend or modify that interaction.

For more information, see the Bold360 and BoldChat Developer Center.

Provide a link to a custom integration

Add a "DIY" custom API trigger integration to provide custom links that agents can access during chat sessions.

Note: This feature is only available for Bold360 Plus subscribers and Bold360 AI platform accounts.

Links are shown at the top of the agent workspace during chat sessions.

  1. In the Web Admin Center, go to Integrations > API Triggers and click Create New.

    Result: The New Integration API Trigger page is displayed.

  2. Name the integration.
  3. Under API Settings, enter the following:
    Option Description
    URL The Submission URL of the REST API POST data. The URL must be a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) with a proper SSL certificate configuration. IP addresses will not work.
    API Key Required for authenticating REST API calls to the Digital DX servers. The API Key setting determines which API Key will be used when there is a callback return URL parameter selected in the Parameters section. The API Key will be included as a parameter of these callback URLs so it will not be necessary to add them yourself. Generate the key under Integrations > API Settings.
    Important: When you create the key, don't forget to save a copy of the API Key outside of the Admin Center. For security reasons, the secret key will be obfuscated once the new setting is created, with only the first four characters remaining visible.

    Result:

    Tip: You can disable API settings at any time. When an API setting is disabled (unchecked) then all API calls to the Digital DX servers will be refused.
  4. To enforce authentication for your integrations, you can choose Connection > Use HTTP Basic authentication (BA).

    With each call, Basic authentication sends an Authorization header containing the Base64-encoded username and password to the API trigger endpoint.

  5. Under Trigger Settings, choose the following:
    Option Description
    Item Type Choose Chats.
    URL Type Choose Agent Button.
    View The View setting becomes available when the Type is Agent Button. View determines how target pages are opened when the trigger is fired.
    • Popup - Open the target in a new pop-up window.
    • Embedded - Open the target within a panel on the Bold360 interface.
    Tip: After setup, if your integration does not load properly in the workspace (for example, only a white panel is shown), the integrated service may not be displayed in an iframe. To resolve this problem, set View to Popup.

    Result:

  6. On the Parameters tab you can define which parameters are passed when the API trigger call is made to your server. To add a parameter, click New.
    Option Description
    Type

    Chats

    • Standard: Predefined parameters supported by the chat service. Select a field from the list and change the name of the parameter to be passed.
    • Custom Field in Pre-Chat or Post-Chat: Custom fields, as defined in the Pre-Chat and Post-Chat form configurations. Type the name of the CustomField and change the name of the parameter.
    • Custom Field in Operator Wrap-Up: Custom fields, as defined in the Wrap-Up configuration. Simply type the name of the CustomField and change the name of the parameter.
    • Chat Transcript: Submits a JSON object containing all chat messages.

    • Chat Message: Parameter for the trigger Chat message is added. Returns the chat message field for the message that was added.
    • Operator: Submits a JSON object containing the details about the agent to whom the chat is assigned.
    • Department: Submits a JSON object containing the department details to which the chat belongs.
    Field The internal name of the parameter as used by the service.
    Important: You must select the fields you want included in cases when the configured trigger submits a JSON object. Fields are passed with the name selected in an object with the parameter name. This applies to Chat Transcript, Operator and Department parameters. For example, the following object is returned if Text, Name and Created Fields are selected for the Chat Transcript parameter:
    {
      "ChatTranscript":
        [
          {"Name":"Customer","Text":"Hello there","Created":"2014-10-29T20:35:54.273Z"},
          {"Name":"Agent","Text":"How may I help you?","Created":"2014-10-29T20:36:12.275Z"},
          {"Name":"Customer","Text":"I think I figured it out. Goodbye.","Created":"2014-10-29T20:36:20.142Z"}
        ]
    }
    Parameter The parameter name that will be used in the URL when a call is made to your server.
  7. On the Filters tab you can define additional criteria before the trigger fires and make the call to your server. Several filter types are supported. For a trigger to fire, all criteria across filter types must be met. Within a filter type (such as Department), only one of the selected items needs to match.
  8. Save your changes.

Bold360 AI Events API for Arcade and Modern widgets

Events API

The Events API allows the customer to hook into various Bold360 AI widget events.

For example, you can use this API to push different Bold360 AI events to a 3rd party BI system (e.g. Universal Analytics) and generate Bold360 AI related Reports.

Note: This API is valid for Arcade and Modern styles only. Please see this guide if you are using a Slim widget.

Supported Events:

  • load: Fires when the widget is fully loaded
  • userStartedTyping: Fires when User starts typing into the search box
  • query: Fires after the user finishes typing and the query is sent to the server
  • incomingSearchResults: Fires when the search results arrive at the widget
    • hasResults(bool) - indicates if results were given to the query.
    • isAutoQuestion(bool) - indicates if the query was an auto question.
    • query(string) - the query asked.
    • results(Json Array) - the results to the query. Each item in the array is a json object: { answerId(string), title(string), body(string) }
  • escalation: Fires when the user performed an escalation (e.g email, chat)
  • like: Fires when the user clicked 'Like' on a search result
// For floating widgets _nRepData["float"] = { //.... // events: { eventName: function(parameters) {} } 
//.... // } 
// For the embedded widgets _nRepData["embed"] = { //.... // events: { eventName: function(parameters) {} } 
//.... // } 
// For both widgets _nRepData[" events "] = { eventName: function(parameters) {} };

Usage Examples:

// Widget loaded: load: function(){alert("widget loaded!");} 
// User started typing: userStartedTyping: 
function(){alert("user started typing");} 
// User asked a question: query: 
function(query, isAutoQuestion){alert("user asked: " + query + ". is auto ? : " + isAutoQuestion);} 
// Incoming search results: incomingSearchResults: 
function(hasResults){alert("incoming search results. has results: " + hasResults);} 
// User performed escalation: escalation: 
function(type, query){alert("Escalation occurred. type: " + type + ". user query: " + query);} 
// User clicked 'Like': like : 
function(query, answer){alert("User liked the answer: " + answer + " for the query: " + query);}

How to import multiple articles in a batch with the API

You can import a large number of articles in a batch through the API.

Important: If the Dual control of article approval option is enabled for your account, article import through the API is not possible. Contact your Success Manager for more information.
Articles can be imported to the knowledge base through the API when the Enable approval workflow option is enabled for an account. Such articles will be in Published status and they are set live in the knowledge base.
Note: It is not possible to import system labels like Never Published, Draft, Offline or Hide in Support Center.

To learn more about how to import articles through the API, visit our Rest API & SDK Reference.

Announcements

Genesys DX/Bold360 End of Life: January 2024

The Genesys DX (Bold360) platform will end of life on January 31st, 2024. This difficult decision was announced in March, 2023.  

Genesys continues to make a strong commitment to Genesys Cloud, while tightening the portfolio to further accelerate feature growth on the platform. Part of that included bringing over key Genesys DX features to Genesys Cloud CX, such as Knowledge Optimizer that focuses on ease-of-use knowledge management. Digital only licenses for Genesys Cloud were also introduced late last year, which are suitable to those who are not looking for voice capabilities or who need agent seats that only feature support for digital channels. 

Details on the end of life timeline

As of January 31st, 2024, access to Genesys DX product interfaces and customer-deployed components stop to function. Users will no longer be able to log into product interfaces, and all of the boldchat/bold360/nanorep domains will become unavailable for use. If you are curious on what the code on your website related to this might look like and how to remove it, we encourage referencing this post on the DX community

After January 31st, 2024, admins will still be able to get access for an additional 30 days. This period is meant to allow for extracting the necessary data from the platform. Historical data extraction from your account will be available to retrieve by data extraction APIs (Bold360 APIs and Nanorep APIs).
