GET https://demo.com/search?=$Expression
Parameters: $Expression

We call Endpoint 4 when:

1. The ROBIN Agent performs a search in the dashboard

2. When a phone link has been setup; endpoint 4 is called everytime a call comes in.

Endpoint

The “Search” endpoint shows results of the search expression so that the ROBIN Agent can see all known orders, customers and conversations relating to the search keyword.

What is important to know is that, once a ROBIN Agent performs a search, several things happen. I will describe these down below by grouping the three results the Agent will see.

1. Conversations

ROBIN will search our own platform for a conversation with the expression

2. Orders

ROBIN will request all Dynamic Links attached to a webstore with the expression

3. Customers

ROBIN will request all Dynamic Links attached to a webstore with the expression

Once a ROBIN Agent performs a search in ROBIN, the parameter $Expression will be filled, and the request will be sent to endpoint 4.

Below I will show you an example:

ROBIN agent performs the search looking for a customer with an email address: Email@address.com

Endpoint 4 request URL: https://demo.com/search?=email@address.com

The Minimum response

The minimum response from endpoint four consists of 3 situations:

Situation 1: A customer exist only doesn’t have a order

Situation 2: A customer exists and has one, or several, orders

Situation 3: There is no customer nor an order

I will show down below the minimum required JSON returns we need when one of the above three situations arise.

Situation 1: A customer exist only doesn’t have an order

{
    "customers": 
    [
        {
            "email_address": "email@address.com",
            "name": "John Doe",
            "phone_number": "+31612345678",
            "order_count": "1",
            "total_spent": "€123,45"
        }
    ],
    "orders": 
    [ ]
}

Search result from Situation 1

Situation 2: A customer exists and has one, or several, orders

{
    "customers": 
    [
        {
            "email_address": "email@address.com",
            "name": "John Doe",
            "phone_number": "+31612345678",
            "order_count": "2",
            "total_spent": "€70,50"
        }
    ],
    "orders": 
    [
        {
            "email_address": "email@address.com",
            "order_number": "RHQ1234",
            "order_date": "2017-01-12T12:34:56Z",
            "revenue": "€15,35",
            "name": "John Doe"
        },
        {
            "email_address": "email@address.com",
            "order_number": "RHQ4321",
            "order_date": "2018-01-12T12:34:56Z",
            "revenue": "€55,15",
            "name": "John Doe"
        }
    ]
}

Search result from Situation 2

Situation 3: There is no customer nor an order

{
    "customers": 
    [ ],
    "orders": 
    [ ]
}

Search result from Situation 3

By adding these three situations, you’ve set up the minimum response for endpoint 4.
Even though you can’t customise the results being shown, extending this search has its own beauty.
