This question comes from one of our awesome RingCentral Developer's working on an application.
"We have an application where we set up event filters to listen to Message-Store events. Every time we get an Inbound message, we use the timestamp from the push notification to filter for the message contents from the Message-Store API. Can we read the contents of the message from the Push notification directly ?"
Yes. This is now possible using the following event filters :
/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/' + extension_number + '/message-store/instant?type=SMS
Consider the following subscription creation request:
POST .../restapi/v1.0/subscription {
"eventFilters": [
"/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/' + extension_number + '/message-store/instant?type=SMS
],
"deliveryMode": {
"transportType": "PubNub"
}
} In response to this request the client application will get all the required information to subscribe to a certain PubNub channel (see PubNub section below to get more information about PubNub subscribing) and receive push notifications for the selected event (message-store/instant in this case):
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
{
"uuid": "8dd3801a-334c-43bf-ac41-97371b1a22de",
"event": "/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/131074004/message-store/instant?type=SMS",
"timestamp": "2016-08-16T02:52:29.561Z",
"subscriptionId": "c342f21b-edae-4f33-85ce-3ef56ed8b5ad",
"body": {
"id": "1941536005",
"to": [
{
"phoneNumber": "101",
"name": Sample_User"
}
],
"from": {
"phoneNumber": XXXXXXXXXXX"
},
"type": "SMS",
"creationTime": "2016-08-16T02:52:29.522Z",
"lastModifiedTime": "2016-08-16T02:52:29.522Z",
"readStatus": "Unread",
"priority": "Normal",
"attachments": [
{
"id": "1941536005",
"type": "Text",
"contentType": "text/plain"
}
],
"direction": "Inbound",
"availability": "Alive",
"subject": "This is an Inbound Message",
"messageStatus": "Received"
}
}
From above, the parameter subject could be used to read the contents off of the push notification for any inbound messages.
P.S : This event filter could be used to retrieve the contents of Inbound Messages Only.
Advantages:
1.) You would not have to listen to the timestamp from the Push notification anymore.
2.) You would not have to make an API call to message-store endpoint to filter using the timestamp to retrieve the contents.
