Webitel REST API Usage Examples

1. Agents

  1. Get a List of Agents;

  2. Get information about a particular Agent.

2. Inbound calls

Upon an incoming call, Webitel sends an HTTP request to the Customer's web service, where the GET request (parameter cid-CallerID Number) contains the client's number if defined. In response, we receive JSON with the parameters necessary for routing:

  • Number found / not found;

  • The client has a debt / no deb.

When a call is assigned to an employee (Agent), Webitel sends an HTTP request to the Customer's web service, wherein the body of the POST request passes the parameters necessary to display information about the call in the Customer's system:

  • event - information about the event:

    • offering - distribution per Agent, 

    • bridged - Agent answer;

  • direction - direction of the call: 

    • inbound - incoming, 

    • outbound - outgoing or Dialer call; 

  • queue - identifier of the incoming Queue or Dialer;

  • member - subscriber identifier ( needed for postprocessing);

  • attempt - identifier of the Dialer's dialing attempt (required for postprocessing);

  • uuid - call identifier;

  • agent - identifier of the Agent or his extension number (need to agree on the format);

  • cid - client's telephone number.

3. Outgoing call

To make an outgoing call from the Customer's system, the Agent must have a registered SIP phone (software or hardware) and a token to fulfill requests.

An example of a POST request to initiate a call:

https://swagger.webitel.com/#/CallService/CallService_CreateCall

Outgoing call



{ "destination": "Destination number", // required "from": { "extension": "Agent's Extension" // required }, "params": { "audio": true, "auto_answer": true, "record": true, "variables": { "additionalProp1": "string", // Additional variables for the client can be used for statistics and outgoing call routing. "additionalProp2": "string", "additionalProp3": "string" } } }

4. Dialer

4.1. Download Members to the Dialer

Lists of Members are loaded into each Dialer separately.

To download Members to the Dialer, you must have the identifier of the Dialer and the administrator's token key.

POST request examples:

To load Members into the Dialer concerning a particular Agent, you must use the Bucket. A Bucket is created for each Agent for which a Member must be bound. Thus, when downloading a Member, the Bucket of the responsible Agent is indicated. To do this, use the POST request block:

4.1.1. An example of Soft and Precollection Dialers

An example of Soft and Precollection dialers
{ "items": [ { "communications": [ { "description": "Description1", //a field to which you can pass data on a particular destination. This description can be sent in hooks when calling. "destination": "Destination", //number or another edition means of communication "priority": 0, // the priority of the destination within the Member. Works when there are several numbers within one communications array "type": { "id": "1" } } ], "expire_at": "string", // dialer termination time for this Member, timestamp (end of the current day) "name": "Member1", "priority": 1, // Member priority within the same Queue. "variables": { "additionalProp1": "string", // additional variables for the client, which can be used for statistics and are available for sending to a third-party system by event "additionalProp2": "string", "additionalProp3": "string" } }, { "communications": [ { "description": "Description1", "destination": "Destination", "priority": 0, "type": { "id": "1" } }, { "description": "Description1", "destination": "Destination", "priority": 0, "type": { "id": "1" } }, { "description": "Description2", "destination": "Destination", "priority": 10, "type": { "id": "2" } } ], "expire_at": "string", "name": "Member2", "priority": 100, "variables": { "additionalProp1": "string", "additionalProp2": "string", "additionalProp3": "string" } } ] }

4.1.2. An example of a Dialer with binding to an Agent

An example of a dialer with binding to an Agent:
{ "items": [ { "bucket": { "id": "1" // The ID of the Bucket through which the agent and client are linked. }, "communications": [ { "description": "Description1", // a field to which you can pass data on a particular destination. This description can be sent in hooks when calling. "destination": "Destination", //number or another edition means of communication "priority": 0, // The priority of destination within the Member. It works when there are several numbers within one communications array "type": { "id": "1" } } ], "expire_at": "string", "name": "Member1", "priority": 1, // Member priority within the same Queue "variables": { "additionalProp1": "string", // additional variables for the client, which can be used for statistics and are available for sending to a third-party system by event "additionalProp2": "string", "additionalProp3": "string" } }, { "bucket": { "id": "2" }, "communications": [ { "description": "Description1", "destination": "Destination", "priority":0, "type": { "id": "1" } }, { "description": "Description1", "destination": "Destination", "priority": 0, "type": { "id": "1" } }, { "description": "Description2", "destination": "Destination", "priority": 10, "type": { "id": "2" } } ], "expire_at": "string", "name": "Member2", "priority": 100, "variables": { "additionalProp1": "string", "additionalProp2": "string", "additionalProp3": "string" } } ] }

4.1.3. Example for Outbound IVR Dialer

Example for dialer Outbound IVR

4.2. Cancellation of dialing a Member

To cancel dialing a Member, a PATCH request must be executed: https://swagger.webitel.com/#/MemberService/PatchMember

If you fill stop_cause with the value cancel, then the call will not be made to this Member.

For the Member to be included in the call list again, it is necessary to add the value null or an empty string to stop_cause.

The rest of the parameters do not need to be filled in.

"stop_cause": "cancel"

4.3. Send a postprocessing result

After the call is completed, the operator must send the call processing status (postprocessing).

Example: https://swagger.webitel.com/#/MemberService/AttemptCallback

Send postprocessing call from Dialer:

  • The attempt_id field contains the identifier of the dialer's attempt to dial, which is used to send the postprocessing result;

  • The status field is set to success if the call was successful. There will be no re-dialing attempt by the Dialer;

  • The status field is set to successful if the call was successful. The Dialer will not try to redial the number. In the min_offering_at field, the timestamp value of the specific time the Dialer called back is passed. The diler's work calendar has the highest priority. If the specified time in the parameter is not included in the working hours of the Dialer, then the call will be made with the highest priority during working hours.

In order to pre-exit the postprocessing of an incoming call, the value success is passed to the status field.
