Info

It is now possible to change the conversation state on an ongoing conversation.

Conversation States

Open


When the conversation state is Open it is possible to send messages as usual:

Auto_Bot


During this state an automated process or a bot is answering the messages, it is not possible to manually send messages:

However, a user which has the custom permission Social25.Allow Change Conversation State assigned can press the Take over conversation button to put the conversation to the Open state:

Blocked


While the conversation is in Blocked state it is not possible to send and receive message within this conversation:

Custom Permission

Permissions

Not every user is allowed to perform changes on the conversation state. To give a user permission to do this you have to assign the Custom Permission (on the User Profile or Permission Set) Social25.Allow Change Conversation State. This makes the buttons to do this visible:

languagejava
//You can add multiple requests in one method call, for this a list is needed
List<Social25.Put_Conversation.PutConversationRequest> putConversationRequests = new List<Social25.Put_Conversation.PutConversationRequest>();

//Instantiate the request object
Social25.Put_Conversation.PutConversationRequest putConversationRequest = new Social25.Put_Conversation.PutConversationRequest();
putConversationRequest.conversation_id = '{The conversation identifier}';
putConversationRequest.action = 'change_state';
putConversationRequest.asynchronous = {true or false};
putConversationRequest.state = {one of the numeric values as described above};

//Add the request object to the list
putConversationRequests.add(putConversationRequest);

//Call the 'call' method from Put_Conversation, a list with the results are returned only when asynchronous was set to false, else you get an empty list
List<Social25.Put_Conversation.PutConversationResponse> responses = Social25.Put_Conversation.call(putConversationRequests);

for (Social25.Put_Conversation.PutConversationResponse putConversationResponse : responses) {
    String conversation_id = putConversationResponse.id;
    Integer statusCode = putConversationResponse.statusCode;
