Receiving Conversation and User Information
Symphony’s Extension API allows apps to extend the Symphony client user interface by adding buttons on the IM, MIM, profile, and chatroom modules. This capability can be used to build apps that act upon the room and user identity details, such as a click-to-call integration.
Extension apps can receive stream participant information when an end user clicks on a button added by the app.
Your button will receive information from the user object in a MIM, IM and a room of up to 20 users.
Please note that the current user’s information isn’t returned, only the information of the other user(s) in the profile of a user, an IM, MIM or room.
This is the information that you will receive if your button is pressed inside of an IM or on a users Profile:
IM, User Profile
{
threadId, //id of the conversation. Also known as streamId or conversationId
userCount, //number of users returned
isCrossPod, //if cross pod, returns true
user : { //user information
id, //user identifier
emailAddress, //user email
username, //user name
displayName, //user display name
firstName, //user first name
lastName, //user last name
phone, //user phone number
mobile, //user mobile phone number
}
}
You must implement the
trigger() method on your application service in order to handle clicks on the registered extensions. This is a sample trigger method that will allow you to receive a user's phone number and email address as an authenticated extension app:// The application service that willbe used to handle clicks on UI extensions
var helloControllerService = SYMPHONY.services.register("hello:controller");
// Displays a button on 1-1 instant messages
uiService.registerExtension(
"single-user-im",
"hello-im",
"hello:controller",
{
label: "IM Button",
data: {"datetime": Date()}
}
);
// Implement the trigger method on your application service
helloControllerService.implement({
trigger: function(uiClass, id, payload, data) {
if (uiClass == "single-user-im") {
console.log('IM button was clicked on ' + data.datetime + '.');
// This acquires the user's phone number from the payload
var userPhone = payload.user.phone;
// You can do this for any field in the prior section, such as emailAddress
var userEmail = payload.user.emailAddress;
// You can now pass the user's phone number and email to your system.
}
}
});
This is the information that you will receive if your button is pressed inside of a MIM or a room:
This is the information that you will receive if your button is pressed inside of a MIM or a room with less than 20 users. If there are more than 20 users, the users list will be returned empty.
