Agent API

Agents respond to contacts from customers. Use the Agent API to view and edit the currently defined agents in the database.

Note

Access to this API is different for supervisors and administrators. For more information, see Access.

URL

https://<server>/unifiedconfig/config/agent

Operations

  • create: Creates an agent.

  • delete: Marks one agent for deletion, but does not permanently delete the agent.

    Note

    When you delete a supervisor's record in Packaged CCE, the corresponding user account in Unified Intelligence Center is also deleted.

    When you delete an agent record, its association with the teams is removed and the same is updated in the corresponding collection in Unified Intelligence Center.

  • get: Returns one agent, using the URL https://<server>/unifiedconfig/config/agent/<id>.

  • list: Retrieves a list of agents.

    • Query parameters:

      • Summary list: See list.

  • update: Updates one agent.

    Note
    • When you change the team association for an agent or supervisor in Packaged CCE, the same change is updated in the corresponding collection in Unified Intelligence Center.

    • When you change the username and team association for a supervisor's record, the same changes are also updated in the corresponding user account in Unified Intelligence Center.

    • For an existing supervisor's record in Packaged CCE, if the value for the Supervisor parameter is set to false, the corresponding user account is deleted from Unified Intelligence Center.

Note

API access is provided to users with the ConfigGroup API user role.

Advanced search parameters

There are several advanced searches you can perform on the Agent API, including supervisor, attributes, skillgroups, team, data centers, and include and exclude (agentId).

  • supervisor: (true/false) Find agents that are (or are not) supervisors.

    • q=supervisor:true Returns all agents who are supervisors.

    • q=supervisor:false Returns all agents who are not supervisors.
