Core

Introduction

Welcome to the Smooch API. The API allows you to craft entirely unique messaging experiences for your app and website as well as talk to any backend or external service.

The Smooch API is designed according to REST principles.

The API accepts JSON in request bodies and requires that the content-type: application/json header be specified for all such requests. The API will always respond with an object. Depending on context, resources may be returned as single objects or as arrays of objects, nested within the response object.

In some cases, the API will also facilitate cross-origin resource sharing so that it can be called from a web application.

Regions

# Use US region (default)
export SMOOCH_ROOT=https://api.smooch.io

# Use EU region
export SMOOCH_ROOT=https://api.eu-1.smooch.io

// Use US region (default)
const smooch = new SmoochCore({
    jwt: 'some-jwt'
});

// Use EU region
const smooch = new SmoochCore({
    jwt: 'some-jwt',
    serviceUrl: 'https://api.eu-1.smooch.io'
});

Smooch is available in the following regions. Each Smooch region has its own API host.

Region	Host
United States	https://api.smooch.io
European Union	https://api.eu-1.smooch.io

For more information on regions, visit the guide.

When configuring an API host, make sure to always use https. Some API clients can have unexpected behaviour when following redirects from http to https.

API Version

The latest version of the API is v1.1. Version v1 is still supported and you can continue using it but we encourage you to upgrade to the latest version. To learn more about API versioning at Smooch, including instructions on how to upgrade to the latest version, visit our docs.

API Libraries

Smooch provides official API libraries for Javascript, Ruby, Python and Java. These helpful libraries wrap calls to the API and can make interfacing with Smooch easier.

Postman Collection

In addition to api libraries, Smooch also has a Postman collection that can be used for development or testing purposes. See the guide for information on how to install and use the collection in your Postman client.

Errors

401 Unauthorized

{
  "error": {
    "code": "unauthorized",
    "description": "Authorization is required"
  }
}

Smooch uses standard HTTP status codes to communicate errors. In general, a 2xx status code indicates success while 4xx indicates an error, in which case, the response body includes a JSON error object, with a text code and description containing more details. A 5xx status code indicates that something went wrong on our end.

Code	Status	Description
bad_request	400	Something in your header or request body was malformed.
not_an_image	400	Smooch was expecting an URL to an image, but got something else.
payments_not_configured	400	A buy action was attempted but target channels do not support payments.
invalid_syntax	400	The provided shorthand syntax contains an error.
invalid_auth	401	Submitted credentials are either missing or malformed.
unauthorized	401	Insufficient credentials for access to the requested resource.
payment_required	402	The action is not available on your payment plan, or you have exceeded usage limits for your current plan.
trial_expired	402	Your API trial has expired.
forbidden	403	Your credentials are valid but you don’t have access to the requested resource.
not_found user_not_found app_not_found app_maker_not_found integration_not_found client_not_found menu_not_found conversation_not_found webhook_not_found processor_not_found message_not_found route_not_found	404	The object you’re requesting doesn’t exist.
request_entity_too_large	413	The request body exceeds the maximum allowed size.
conflict	409	You might be trying to update the same resource concurrently.
locked	423	The requested resource is temporarily unavailable.
too_many_requests	429	You are calling our APIs more frequently than we allow.
	5xx	Something went wrong on our end.

Rate Limits

Smooch APIs are subject to rate limiting. If the rate limit is exceeded Smooch may return a 429 Too Many Requests HTTP status code. We apply rate limits to prevent abuse, spam, denial-of-service attacks, and similar issues. Our goal is to keep the limits high enough so that any application using Smooch as intended will not encounter them, however usage spikes do occur and encountering a rate limit may be unavoidable. In order to avoid production outages, when calling the Smooch API you should implement 429 retry logic using exponential backoff and jitter.

If your use case involves making API calls in bulk, please contact us.

Request Size Limits

The Smooch API imposes the following size limits on HTTP requests:

Request Type	Limit
JSON	100kb
File upload	25mb

Authorization

This is an overview of how authorization works with the Smooch API.

Smooch uses JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) to authenticate server-to-server calls. See below for more details on how to sign a JWT.

There are two different authorization scopes available - app and account.

Scope	Authorized Methods
app	All Core methods
account	All Core and Account Provisioning methods

JWTs issued with app scope can be used to access any of the Smooch Core APIs on behalf of a single app, or any app user related to that app.

JWTs issued with account scope can be used to access any of the Smooch Core and Account Provisioning APIs on behalf of the account owner, any app belonging to the account, or any app user related to those apps.

An additional scope of appUser can also be used to authenticate users when using one of the Smooch native SDK integrations. For information on how and when to use this scope, see the guide for authenticating users.

Authentication

# Calling GET /v1.1/appusers using a JWT
curl $SMOOCH_ROOT/v1.1/appusers/c7f6e6d6c3a637261bd9656f \
     -H 'authorization: Bearer your-jwt'

// Initializing Smooch Core with a JWT in the browser
var smooch = new SmoochCore({
    jwt: 'your-jwt'
});

// Initializing Smooch Core with a JWT in Node.js
var smooch = new SmoochCore({
    keyId: 'your-key-id',
    secret: 'your-secret',
    scope: 'app' // account or app
});

JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are an industry standard authentication mechanism. The full specification is described here, and a set of supported JWT libraries for a variety of languages and platforms can be found at http://jwt.io. To summarize, a JWT is composed of a header, a payload, and a signature. The payload contains information called claims which describe the subject to whom the token was issued.

The JWT itself is transmitted via the HTTP authorization header. The token should be prefixed with “Bearer” followed by a space. For example: Bearer your-jwt.

To sign JWTs, you will need to create a secret key pair in the Smooch dashboard, by going into the Settings tab. Clicking on “Create New Secret Key” will generate a new key id and a secret key pair which you can use to sign JWTs.

JWT header:

{
    "alg": "HS256",
    "typ": "JWT",
    "kid": "act_5963ceb97cde542d000dbdb1"
}

The JWT header must contain the key id (kid) of the secret key that is used to sign it. The algorithm (alg) used should be HS256. Unsigned JWTs are not accepted.

JWT payload with account scope:

{
    "scope": "account"
}

JWT payload with app scope claim:

{
    "scope": "app"
}

Scope

The JWT payload must include a scope claim which specifies the caller’s scope of access. There are two levels of scope:

JWT with account scope example

const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

const KEY_ID = 'act_5963ceb97cde542d000dbdb1';
const SECRET = 'W7JPAd-EaAVuQkWXBwDCkGv4';

const signJwt = function() {
    return jwt.sign(
        {
            scope: 'account'
        },
        SECRET,
        {
            header: {
                kid: KEY_ID,
                typ: 'JWT',
                alg: 'HS256'
            }
        }
    );
};

JWT with app scope example

const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

const KEY_ID = 'app_596dead8c82a8c2b00cf0db4';
const SECRET = 'RiYfZscraDLq1zrXgBdBxU_Z';

const signJwt = function() {
    return jwt.sign(
        {
            scope: 'app'
        },
        SECRET,
        {
            header: {
                kid: KEY_ID,
                typ: 'JWT',
                alg: 'HS256'
            }
        }
    );
};

The account scope grants access to all apps, users, and conversations associated with a given Smooch account, or service account. The account scope is reserved for server-to-server scenarios. The account scope JWT is signed with either an account secret key (act_), or a service account secret key (svc_).
The app scope grants access to all users, and conversations within a given Smooch app. The app scope is reserved for server-to-server scenarios. The app scope JWT is signed with an app secret key (app_).

Resource Paths

Resource path with account scope token example

curl $SMOOCH_ROOT/v1.1/apps/5963c0d619a30a2e00de36b8/appusers/c7f6e6d6c3a637261bd9656f \
     -H 'authorization: Bearer your-account-jwt'

smooch.appUsers
    .get({
        appId: '5963c0d619a30a2e00de36b8',
        userId: 'c7f6e6d6c3a637261bd9656f'
    })
    .then((response) => {
        // async code
    });

Resource path with app scope token example

curl $SMOOCH_ROOT/v1.1/appusers/c7f6e6d6c3a637261bd9656f \
     -H 'authorization: Bearer your-app-jwt'

smooch.appUsers
    .get({
        userId: 'c7f6e6d6c3a637261bd9656f'
    })
    .then((response) => {
        // async code
    });

The app resource is implicitly defined in JWTs signed with app secret keys. However, most Smooch REST API users will use a single account scoped token to authenticate their calls to the API, and will thus provide the full resource path in the URL. Accordingly, the API call examples in these docs will reflect the full resource path.

Webhooks

Webhooks are a fantastic way to extend the Smooch platform beyond the built-in feature set. You can use webhooks to build your own Smooch chat clients, to integrate more deeply with your favorite CRM, or to build a bot.

A webhook can only operate within the scope of a single Smooch app.

Webhook triggers

When a webhook trigger is triggered, a POST request will be made to the URL configured in your webhook object along with a JSON payload specific for the event type.

Triggers are specified in an optional triggers array in the request body. If triggers is not specified the webhook will be configured with the message trigger by default.

Basic Triggers

trigger
message:appUser	only messages with role `appUser`
message:appMaker	only messages with role `appMaker`
message:delivery:channel	when a message is successfully delivered to a customer channel
message:delivery:user	when a message is successfully delivered to the user’s device
message:delivery:failure	when a message fails to be delivered to a customer channel or the user’s device
appUser:delete	when an app user is deleted through the Delete App User endpoint
conversation:read	when a user reads a conversation
conversation:referral	when a user scans a Messenger code, clicks an ad on Facebook or scans a WeChat QR code
postback	when a user clicks on a postback action
merge:appUser	when two or more users are merged into one
payment:success	when a payment is successfully received from a channel
link:success	when a new channel is successfully linked to a user
link:failure	when a user link fails
link:match	when a user is successfully matched to an external system
client:add	when a new client has been added to an existing user
client:remove	when a new client has been removed from an existing user
*	when any of the above basic triggers occurs

Additional Triggers

In addition to the basic triggers above, there are some additional triggers that are not included in the wildcard trigger (*), and must be subscribed to explicitly.

trigger
typing:appUser	when a user starts or stops typing

Alternatively, you can use the Webhooks integration in the Smooch dashboard to easily create a webhook.

If you try to create a webhook on a target already used by another webhook, the existing webhook will be updated by merging the triggers and a 200 HTTP status will be returned.

Arguments
target required	URL to be called when the webhook is triggered.
triggers required	An array of triggers you wish to have the webhook listen to. This property is case sensitive. More details.
includeClient optional	A boolean specifying whether webhook payloads should include the client information associated with a conversation in webhook events.
includeFullAppUser optional	A boolean specifying whether webhook payloads should include the complete appUser schema for appUser events.

The triggers property is supported as optional in our v1 API.

Message event payload schema

Field	Description
trigger	`"message:appUser"`, or `"message:appMaker"`
app	A nested object representing the Smooch app associated with the event. See the truncated app schema below for details.
messages	An array of objects representing the messages associated with the event. See the message schema below for details.
appUser	A nested object representing the appUser associated with the event. See the truncated appUser schema below for details.
conversation	A nested object representing the conversation associated with the event. See the truncated conversation schema below for details.
client	A nested object representing the current client associated with the conversation of the event. This field is only included when `includeClient` on webhook settings is set. See the client schema for detail.
version	The API version used to create the webhook. See API version for details.

Webhooks created with the v1 API will return the full appUser schema instead of the truncated version.

Message Delivery Events

Delivery events expose the delivery steps that a message takes to be delivered to a user:

Channel delivery confirmation The message is delivered to the channel (e.g. WhatsApp), represented by the message:delivery:channel trigger.
User delivery confirmation The message is delivered to the user, represented by the message:delivery:user trigger.
Delivery failure The message could not be delivered (either to the channel or to the user), represented by the message:delivery:failure trigger.

See the delivery events guide for more information.

Note that each delivery webhook is guaranteed to trigger at-most-once per message._id and destination.type combination. In other words, it’s possible for a Smooch message to be delivered to many channels, but it can only be delivered once per channel. To understand how Smooch selects the channel(s) to which a message is delivered, see Automatic message delivery.

The delivery:success and delivery:failure triggers are only supported in v1 of the API, and have been removed in v1.1 and later. See the v1.1 changelog for more details.

The order of the external messages is not guaranteed to be the same across the different triggers. Note that some channels don’t expose message IDs, in which case this field will be unset.
timestamp	A unix timestamp given in seconds, describing when the delivery event occurred.
isFinalEvent	A boolean indicating whether the webhook is the final one for the `message._id` and `destination.type` pair.
error optional	A nested object, present in `message:delivery:failure` event, representing the error associated with the delivery failure. See the error schema below for details.

External message schema

Field	Description
id	A string representing the ID of the external message.

}

A client:add webhook triggers when a client is added to an existing appUser. This can occur as a result of a login, channel link, or when an SDK consumes an auth code.

In channel linking cases the client:add event only fires when the link has been completed. For example, if a user declines when prompted to link Facebook Messenger, client:add will not trigger. Link failures such as this can be detected with the link:failure trigger.

Exceptions:

Smooch automatically creates new appUsers upon receipt of their first message. In these cases, a client:add event does not fire. New users created in this way should be recognized via the message:appUser trigger, which includes the client object in the payload.

An existing client might also be moved from one appUser to another as a result of a merge. In this case, a merge:appUser event is signalled in lieu of a client:add event.

client:add event payload schema

Field	Description
trigger	`"client:add"`
app	A nested object representing the Smooch app associated with the event. See the truncated app schema below for details.
appUser	A nested object representing the truncated appUser associated with the event. See the truncated appUser schema below for details.
clients	An array of client objects that have just been added to the appUser. See the client schema below for details.
version	The API version used to create the webhook. See API version for details.

            "id": "90e2f396500b451dabdce69f207247d4"
        }
    ],
    "version": "v1.1"
}

A client:remove webhook triggers when a client is removed from an existing appUser. This can happen when a channel is unlinked via the channel API.

A channel link action might also cause an existing third party client to change ownership from one appUser to another. In this case both a client:remove and client:add trigger will be fired.

client:remove event payload schema

Field	Description
trigger	`"client:remove"`
app	A nested object representing the Smooch app associated with the event. See the truncated app schema below for details.
appUser	A nested object representing the truncated appUser associated with the event. See the truncated appUser schema below for details.

A typing:appUser webhook triggers when an appUser starts or stops typing a response on a supported channel.

typing:appUser event payload schema

Field	Description
trigger	`"typing:appUser"`
app	A nested object representing the Smooch app associated with the event. See the truncated app schema below for details.
appUser	A nested object representing the truncated appUser associated with the event. See the truncated appUser schema below for details.
conversation	A nested object representing the conversation associated with the event. See the truncated conversation schema below for details.
client	A nested object representing the current client associated with the conversation of the event. This field is only included when `includeClient` on webhook settings is set. See the client schema for detail.
source	A nested object representing the source of the event. See the source schema below for details.
timestamp	A unix timestamp given in seconds, describing when Smooch received the event.
activity	A nested object representing the type of activity that triggered the event. Contains a field `type` with value `typing:start` or `typing:stop`.
version	The API version used to create the webhook. See API version for details.

Securing a webhook

When a webhook is created, a shared secret will be generated for it. The secret can be used to determine the veracity of a request to your webhook route. It is included as an X-API-Key header with each webhook request sent to the target URL.

That secret is available in the response to the POST request used to generate the webhook, or through a GET request to the webhook route.

Retry Policy

A webhook call will be reattempted up to 5 times at an exponentially increasing interval if the target responds with anything but a success (2XX) or a non-recoverable error. If no response is received within 20 seconds, the call will be considered a failure and will also be reattempted.

Non-recoverable Errors

The following status codes are deemed to be non-recoverable and Smooch will not reattempt a call when receiving a response with them:

400: The target exists, but can’t process the payload.
401: The target is behind authentication or doesn’t recognize the webhook secret.
403: Smooch should not be calling the target.
404: The target doesn’t exist.
406: The target exists, and rejected webhook intentionally.

App User

The app user object represents an end user using your app. The app user document contains basic profile information such as givenName, surname, and email, as well as any custom user properties you choose to configure.

The /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers path gives you APIs that can be used to update the user’s properties, retrieve conversation history, post a message, and track app user events.

userId

App users may be created with an optional userId parameter. This is a unique identifier that is chosen by the API consumer and it can be used to associate Smooch users with an external user directory, and to synchronize a single conversation across multiple clients. To understand how this works, see the section covering user authentication.

If a userId has been specified for a given app user, it can be used in place of the appUser._id in any /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers/ API path.

Profile properties

Profile properties are limited to 4KB per users. Both key and values are accounted for in this size limitation. An error will be returned if an app user is in the process of being created or updated and the custom properties are going over the size limit.

PUT /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers/{smoochId|userId}

Update an app user’s basic profile information and specify custom profile data via properties. This API is additive; only the specific fields specified in the request body, and only the specific JSON sub-fields included in the properties field will be updated. In other words, omitting a field will not delete that field.

Arguments
givenName optional	The user’s given name (first name).
surname optional	The user’s surname (last name).
email optional	The user’s email address.
signedUpAt optional	The date at which the user signed up. Must be ISO 8601 time format (`YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ`).
properties optional	A flat object containing custom defined user properties.

DELETE /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers/{smoochId|userId}/profile

Delete an app user’s profile. Calling this API will clear givenName, surname, email and every custom property for the specified app user.

For every client owned by the app user, it will also clear displayName, avatarUrl and any channel specific information stored in the info and raw fields.

Calling this API doesn’t delete the app user’s conversation history. To fully delete the app user, see Delete App User.

POST /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers

Arguments
userId required	A unique identifier for the app user. The `userId` can be used to link a user to the same conversation across multiple clients.
givenName optional	The user’s given name (first name).
surname optional	The user’s surname (last name).
email optional	The user’s email address.
signedUpAt optional	The date at which the user signed up. Must be ISO 8601 time format (`YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ`).
properties optional	A flat object containing custom defined user properties.

In the vast majority of cases app users will be automatically created by the Smooch SDKs or Messaging Channel integrations. In some cases however it might be necessary to pre-create an app user object before that user runs your app for the first time. This API facilitates this scenario. A userId must be specified so that a future login call made from a device can use the same userId to link the device to the pre-created app user.

Suppose for example you begin a conversation with an end user bob@example.com over email and you wish to transfer this conversation history over into Smooch once that user logs in to your app. To facilitate this, you can call POST /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers to pre-create a Smooch identity with userId bob@example.com, to which you can import that existing conversation history. After Bob signs in to your app and your app calls login with the same userId, they will see their conversation history.

The credentialRequired property is still supported in our v1 API.

POST /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers/{smoochId|userId}/channels

Arguments
type required	The channel to link. Can be `twilio`, `messagebird`, `mailgun` or `whatsapp`. The channel `messenger` is also valid, but since it’s in early access, you need to contact Smooch to enable it.
integrationId optional	The integration to link. Must match the provided `type`.
{entity} required	The required entity for linking. This is different for each channel.
confirmation required	The confirmation option for linking.
primary optional	Default is `true`. Flag indicating whether the client will become the primary once linking is complete.

Some extra arguments are supported depending on the selected type.

Linking allows users to continue conversations on their preferred channels. An appUser’s linked channels will be found in the clients field.

When a link request is first made, the channel will be added to the pendingClients field. At this point, the API call will be considered a success and a response will be returned. Future updates on the status of the link request can be tracked by listening to the link:match, link:success and link:failure webhooks.

The skipConfirmation flag is still supported in our v1 API. Note that it’s accepted for twilio linking only.

The confirmation property is supported as optional in our v1 API.

Linking confirmation

The confirmation option allows you to specify the strategy used to initiate a link with the target user.

Arguments
type required	The type of confirmation. Types include immediate, userActivity or prompt.
message	The message used to reach out to the user. Must be a valid message object as per the post message API.

Messages sent via the Linking API can only be of type text and image at the moment. If actions are included they can only be of type link. The confirmation message will not be added to the appUser’s conversation.

Immediate

Available on: Twilio, MessageBird, Messenger, Mailgun, WhatsApp

If you specify an immediate confirmation, Smooch will not wait for the user to confirm the link before converting the pending client to a full client. On a successful link, the link:success webhook will be triggered.

If the message property is provided, Smooch will attempt to deliver it to the channel prior to completing the link. Successfully sending this message will trigger a link:match webhook. Failure to deliver this message will result in a link:failure webhook, and the pending client will be removed from the user.

User activity

Available on: Twilio, MessageBird, Messenger, WhatsApp

If you specify a userActivity confirmation, Smooch will wait for the user to confirm the link before converting the pending client to a full client. If the user performs an activity acknowledging the message was received (for example accepting the message request on Facebook Messenger), the link:success webhook will be triggered.

The message property is mandatory for this confirmation type. Smooch will attempt to deliver it to the channel prior to listening for the user’s activity. This is a good opportunity to welcome the user to the new channel and invite them to begin messaging you there. Successfully sending this message will trigger a link:match webhook. Failure to deliver this message will result in a link:failure webhook, and the pending client will be removed from the user.

Prompt

Available on: Twilio, MessageBird

If you specify a prompt confirmation, the user will be prompted to either accept or deny your link request. The message sent to prompt the user can’t be customized.

Successfully sending the prompt will trigger a link:match webhook. Failure to deliver this message or a denial of the prompt will result in a link:failure webhook, and the pending client will be removed from the user.

Linkable channels and entities

Given that there is no way for you to provide Smooch with the necessary ID to connect LINE, WeChat or Telegram, we have limited the API to accept ‘Twilio’, ‘MessageBird’, ‘Mailgun’ and ‘Messenger’ for now.

Channel type	Required entity	Extra properties
`twilio`, `messagebird`, `whatsapp`	phoneNumber A String of the appUser’s phone number. It must contain the `+` prefix and the country code. Examples of valid phone numbers: `+1 212-555-2368`, `+12125552368`, `+1 212 555 2368`. Examples of invalid phone numbers: `212 555 2368`, `1 212 555 2368`.
`messenger`	phoneNumber A String of the appUser’s phone number. It must contain the `+` prefix and the country code. Examples of valid phone numbers: `+1 212-555-2368`, `+12125552368`, `+1 212 555 2368`. Examples of invalid phone numbers: `212 555 2368`, `1 212 555 2368`.	`givenName` and `surname` may be specified as additional criteria to increase the likelihood of a match.
`mailgun`	address A String of the appUser’s email address	`subject` may be specified to set the subject for the outgoing email. Default `subject`: “New message from {appName}”

Messenger linking requires a special permission on your Facebook page and is subject to a $99 USD one-time fee. Given this permission requirement, Messenger linking is only possible when targeting an app integrated via our Integrations API. A confirmation message is also required to initiate a link for the Messenger channel.

    });

Response:

200 OK

{
    "authCode": "ac_tXcqhnHSgaZuzeOB8ndiL7A5"
}

Users can begin their communication over a third party channel such as Facebook Messenger. Using an auth code, you can transfer such users' conversations over to an SDK channel hosted on your website or mobile app. The user can then continue their conversation in a medium that offers more freedom for the business to customize the user’s experience.

For more information, see the Channel transfer guide.

Query Parameter	Description
integrationIds	Comma separated list of integration ids.

A user who begins their conversation via one of the Smooch SDKs may wish to transfer the conversation to a different preferred channel. For example, a user may leave you a message on your website and ask to be notified by Facebook as soon as you respond.

The link request API facilitates this transfer. The API will generate a transfer URL designed to work for a given channel type. When a user clicks or taps this link they will be connected to your business presence on the given channel. Smooch embeds a one time code in the URL that allows the channel to be securely linked to the user’s existing Smooch identity. Messages sent over this new channel will also be synchronized with the user’s existing conversation.

Multiple link requests can be made at once so that you may render them as a list of options for the user to choose from.

A link request code and url is only valid for 1 month. Only one pending link request can be active per appUser per integration. Generating a new link request will invalidate any existing pending link request issued for that appUser and integration.

Link requests are currently supported by Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and Viber channels.

Channel	Link URL works on:
Facebook Messenger	browser, mobile
Telegram	browser, mobile
Viber	mobile (Viber app must be installed)

province	Province
country	Country
headimgurl	Profile photo URL. The last number in the URL shows the size of the square image, which can be 0 (640*640), 46, 64, 96 and 132. This parameter is null if the user hasn’t set a profile photo.
subscribe_time	The timestamp when the user follows the Official Account or the last time if the user has followed several times.

For WhatsApp, we extract the user’s profile information and from ID from inbound message webhooks.

Field	Description

profile	Nested object containing the profile information of the WhatsApp user. If the user has declined to share their profile with the Business, this field will be unset.

Conversation

When the first message is sent to an app user or received from an app user, a conversation is automatically created for them. The conversation and messages for a given app user can be retrieved and created by way of the /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers/ API.

POST /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers/{smoochId|userId}/messages

Post a message to or from the app user. If the app user does not yet have a conversation, one will be created automatically. Messages must have a role of either appUser or appMaker.

A message must also have a type specifying the type of message you’re trying to send.

Images can be posted by URL using this API via the image type. Alternatively, you may also upload images to the conversation directly using the /images endpoint.

It’s possible that a request to this endpoint generates multiple messages. For example, when sending a template message. If additional messages end up being created in this way, they will be returned in the extraMessages key. The message key always contains one message.

Arguments
role required	The role of the individual posting the message. Can be either `appUser` or `appMaker`.
type required	The type of the message being posted. Can be `text`, `image`, `file`, `carousel`, `list`, or `location`.
name optional	The display name of the message author. Messages with role `appUser` will default to a friendly name based on the user’s `givenName` and `surname`. Messages with role `appMaker` have no default name.
email optional	The email address of the message author. This field is typically used to identify an app maker in order to render the avatar in the app user client. If the email of the Smooch account is used, the configured profile avatar will be used. Otherwise, any gravatar matching the specified email will be used as the message avatar.
avatarUrl optional	The URL of the desired message avatar image. This field will override any avatar chosen via the `email` parameter.
destination optional	The channel where you want your message delivered to. This only works for messages with role `appMaker`. See Channel Targeting for more information.
metadata optional	Flat object containing any custom properties associated with the message. If you are developing your own messaging client you can use this field to render custom message types. See the metadata schema for more information.
payload optional	The payload of a `reply` action, if applicable

The type property is supported as optional in our v1 API.

Channel Targeting

A business can choose which channel to deliver a message to. To do this, include a destination object in the message payload and provide one of the following:

Arguments
integrationId optional	The integration id. See List Integrations.
integrationType optional	The integration type. See List Integrations.

Note that for this to work, the user needs to have a client linked to the targeted channel.

GET /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers/{smoochId|userId}/messages

Get the specified app user’s conversation history with a limit of 100 messages, if it exists. If a conversation has not yet been created for the specified app user, 404 will be returned.

Pagination

The API endpoint for retrieving messages of a conversation has a limit of a 100 messages. The before and after parameters will have to be specified to indicate which range of messages to return. These parameters are mutually exclusive. If neither is specified, then the most recent 100 messages will be returned.

Parameter	Description
`before`	Timestamp of message. The API will return 100 messages before the specified timestamp (excluding any messages with the provided timestamp).
`after`	Timestamp of message. The API will return 100 messages after the specified timestamp (excluding any messages with the provided timestamp).

DELETE /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers/{smoochId|userId}/messages/{messageId}

Delete a single message, leaving behind a placeholder with the text [deleted]. Deleted message placeholders will also have a deleted property of true.

If the target message has a mediaUrl that is hosted by Smooch, the media will be deleted as well. Note that files uploaded via the upload attachment API are not associated with any specific appUser and are therefore not subject to deletion by this API. The delete attachment API should be used to remove those files.

Response:

DELETE /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers/{smoochId|userId}/messages

Clears the message history for a user, permanently deleting all messages, but leaving any connections to Messaging Channels and Business Systems intact. These connections allow for the conversation to continue in the future, while still being associated to the same appUser.

For deleted messages that have a mediaUrl that is hosted by Smooch, the media will be deleted as well. Note that files uploaded via the upload attachment API are not associated with any specific appUser and are therefore not subject to deletion by this API. The delete attachment API should be used to remove those files.

This API is deprecated. It is recommended that you use the upload attachment API then attach the resulting mediaUrl and mediaType to an image type message.

POST /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers/{smoochId|userId}/images

Upload an image and post it to the conversation. Images are uploaded using the multipart/form-data content type. Similar to the /messages endpoint, a role parameter must be specified. The /images endpoint accepts the same parameters as /messages but they are sent as form parameters as opposed to being encoded in JSON bodies. The uploaded image will render as part of the message thread in all supported app maker channels (email, Slack, Zendesk, Helpscout).

Form Parameters
source required	The image data.
role required	The role of the individual posting the message. Can be either `appUser` or `appMaker`.

    "mediaType": "application/pdf"
}

POST /v1.1/apps/{appId}/attachments

Upload an attachment to Smooch to use in future messages. Files are uploaded using the multipart/form-data content type. Use the returned mediaUrl and mediaType to send a file, image or carousel message.

Form Parameters
source required	The attachment data, provided as a readable file stream.

Query Parameters
access required	The access level for the attachment. Currently the only available access level is `public`.
for optional	Specifies the intended container for the attachment, to enable future automatic attachment deletion. For now, only `message` is supported. See attachments for messages for details.
appUserId optional	The `appUserId` of the user that will receive the attachment. Used in attachments for messages.
userId optional	The `userId` of the user that will receive the attachment. Used in attachments for messages.

If the for parameter is not provided, it is assumed that the attachment will be used across multiple messages, and therefore will not be deleted when any of the sent messages are deleted.

POST /v1.1/apps/{appId}/attachments/remove

Remove an attachment uploaded to Smooch through the upload attachment API.

See Attachments for Messages to have attachments automatically deleted when deleting messages or users.

Arguments
mediaUrl required	The media URL used for a file or image message.

Attachments for Messages

The attachments API allows you to upload a file for the purpose of sending a message.

Using the for parameter, you can signal to Smooch that your upload will be used to send a message to a user. Knowing this, Smooch will safely delete the attachment when the message or app user is deleted.

Templates

You can create message templates that will allow you to send complex messages such as carousel or list via convenient shorthand. For more information on the application of templates, see our guide.

Carousel messages are a horizontally scrollable set of items that may each contain text, an image, and message actions. Not all messaging channels fully support carousel messages; currently only Facebook Messenger, LINE, Telegram, Viber, the Web Messenger, the Android SDK and the iOS SDK cover the full functionality. For all other platforms a carousel message is rendered as raw text. The raw text fallback does not include any images or postback message actions. See Common message properties for more information.

Arguments
items required*	Array of message items. The array is limited to 10 items.
displaySettings optional	Settings to adjust the carousel layout. See Display Settings.

Display Settings

A business can modify a carousel message layout by including an optional displaySettings object. Supported settings are:

Arguments
imageAspectRatio optional	Specifies how to display all carousel images. Valid values are `horizontal` (default) and `square`.

Channel Support

Smooch will deliver carousel messages to users across all messaging channels regardless of whether or not a given channel can natively render a carousel message UI. For channels that don’t render carousels, a raw text representation is sent. In the future, the Smooch API will expand to support new messaging app carousel experiences as they become available. For current messaging channels, carousel messages will render in the following ways:

Facebook Messenger

List messages are a vertically scrollable set of items that may each contain text, an image, and message actions. Not all messaging channels fully support list messages. See Common message properties for more information.

Facebook Messenger and WeChat have native support.
For LINE and our Android, iOS and Web SDK, Smooch converts list messages to carousel.
On Telegram and Twitter, Smooch converts list messages to multiple rich messages.
On all other platforms, Smooch converts list messages to raw text.

Arguments
items required*	Array of message items. The array is limited to 10 items.
actions optional*	Array of message actions.

Channel Support

Smooch will deliver list messages to users across all messaging channels regardless of whether or not a given channel can natively render a list message UI. For channels that don’t render lists, a raw text representation is sent. In the future, the Smooch API will expand to support new messaging app list experiences as they become available. For current messaging channels, list messages will render in the following ways:

Facebook Messenger

List messages are supported natively in Facebook Messenger. However, note that list messages sent with multiple actions either in a message item or the message itself will be truncated, as only 1 action is supported.

messenger list

LINE

LINE doesn’t support list messages natively. When a list message is sent to a LINE user, the items array will be sent as a carousel message. The actions array will be sent as a separate message.

Telegram doesn’t support list messages natively. When a list message is sent to a Telegram user, it will be sent as multiple messages. Each item in the items array will be converted to one message. Another message will be sent with the contents of the actions array if it’s non-empty.

WeChat

WeChat supports native list messages, but it is more limited than other channels. When sending a list message to WeChat users note that:

Each items.actions supports one link action. If there is a link action with a default set to true, it will be given priority. Otherwise, the first link action will be used.
items.description is displayed when there is no image, or when there is only one item included in the message.
actions are truncated.
The length of the items array is truncated to the first 8 items.

wechat list

Android, iOS and Web SDK

Our Android, iOS and Web SDK don’t support native list messages. When a SDK receives a list message, it displays the items as a carousel message and the actions are truncated.

All Other Channels

Sample Raw Text Format:

1. Tacos
Description
More info http://example.org

2. Ramen
Description
More info http://example.org

Text fallback.

Message Actions

Actions buttons can be sent through the post message API by including them in the message payload. There are many types of actions, each with its own abilities and limitations. See below for the payloads of each distinct action type. See Common message properties for more information.

Message actions can only be attached to messages with a role of appMaker.

Link

A link action will open the provided URI when tapped.

In order to integrate a Facebook Messenger app you must acquire a Page Access Token from your user. Once you have acquired a page access token from your user, call the Create Integration endpoint with your app secret and ID and the user’s page access token.

Arguments
type required	The integration type: messenger.
pageAccessToken required	A Facebook Page Access Token.
appId required	A Facebook App ID.
appSecret required	A Facebook App Secret.
displayName optional	A human-friendly name used to identify the integration. Defaults to `Messenger` if not specified. Maximum of 100 characters. May be unset with `null` or `''`.

Account Provisioning

Introduction

If you’re looking to enable messaging inside your product for your customers, with as much control over the experience as you’d like, you can create and control Smooch apps programmatically using Account Provisioning.

Authentication

Account Provisioning endpoints require an account scoped JWT. For more details about signing JWTs, see the authorization section.

A JWT signed with an account key (act_) can access all account provisioning routes. You can create an account key by going to your account page.

A JWT signed with a service account key (svc_) may be used to manage apps, but not service accounts or service account keys.

Key Type	Authorized Methods
act	All Core and Account Provisioning methods.
svc	All Core methods, App Management methods, and App Keys methods.

Service Accounts

Service Account schema and endpoints used for provisioning service accounts. A service account represents an API user, with its own set of credentials, that only has access to a certain subset of apps. For software makers that create apps on behalf of separate customers or businesses, service accounts can be used to generate and distribute credentials that only have access to a single business' data.

Schema

App schema

The schema describes the fields you can expect to be associated with an app.

Field	Description
_id	A canonical ID that can be used to retrieve the Smooch app. Also used to initialize Smooch’s Mobile and Web SDKs.
appToken (deprecated)	A public token used to initialize older versions of the Smooch Mobile and Web SDKs.
name	The friendly name of the app.
settings	Customizable app settings (see app settings).
metadata	Flat object containing any custom properties associated with the app. See app metadata for more information.

App metadata

Data representing an optional flat object sent as an argument of a POST or PUT App API call containing additional properties associated with the app. Metadata properties can have values of type string, number, boolean, or null and is limited to 4KB in size. Both keys and values are accounted for this size limitation and an error will be returned if an app is in the process of being created or updated and metadata goes over the size limit.

Truncated app schema

A truncated version of the app sent with webhook payloads.

Field	Description
_id	A canonical ID that can be used to retrieve the Smooch app. Also used to initialize Smooch’s Mobile and Web SDKs.

App settings

Apps have a number of settings that can be used to customize specific behaviors.

Field	Description
conversationRetentionSeconds optional	Number of seconds of inactivity before a conversation’s messages will be automatically deleted. See below.
maskCreditCardNumbers optional	A boolean specifying whether credit card numbers should be masked when sent through Smooch.
useAnimalNames optional	A boolean specifying whether animal names should be used for unnamed users. See the user naming guide for details.
echoPostback optional	A boolean specifying whether a message should be added to the conversation history when a postback button is clicked. See below.

Conversation Retention Seconds

The conversationRetentionSeconds setting dictates a period of time after which an inactive conversation will have its messages deleted. The deletion behavior is similar to when an appUser’s messages are deleted, meaning the messages will be deleted, but the appUser and any associated channels will remain. There is a separate API that can be used to fully delete an appUser. As long as a conversation continues to receive regular activity, messages will not expire. Activities that will prevent message expiration include:

A message is added to the conversation
A postback event is triggered

If conversationRetentionSeconds is left unset, no automatic message deletion will take place. The setting may be set to 0 in order to disable automatic message deletion upon new message activity. If nonzero, the minimum setting is 1 hour (3600 seconds).

Echo Postbacks

echoPostback controls whether a message should be added to the conversation history when a postback button is clicked. When enabled, An appUser message is silently added to the conversation, without a corresponding message:appUser webhook being triggered.

The echoPostback setting works with any channel that supports postback actions natively (including Facebook Messenger, Twitter DM, Telegram, LINE and all Smooch SDKs). In some channels Smooch offers partial support for postback buttons via text fallback. For these channels, the user needs to answer with a message matching the postback action text. In this case, the user’s message will always be added to the conversation history.

This set of endpoints is used to provision and revoke secret keys for a Smooch app. An app can have a maximum of 10 keys.

Smooch Connect

Introduction

Smooch has a rapidly growing partner ecosystem which helps you unlock messaging in your product or service and lets customers find you alongside complementary partners. If you’re interested in becoming a partner, tell us what you’re building with Smooch using our partner application and we’ll provision you with everything you’ll need to build your end of the OAuth flow using Smooch Connect. In the meantime the OAuth endpoints detailed below can be tested by impersonating Shoplifter, a partnership we built for testing purposes.

Add to Smooch Button

<a href="https://app.smooch.io/oauth/authorize?client_id=shoplifter&response_type=code"><img alt="Add to Smooch" height="40" width="165" src="https://cdn.smooch.io/images/add_to_smooch.png" srcset="https://cdn.smooch.io/images/add_to_smooch.png 1x, https://cdn.smooch.io/images/add_to_smooch@2x.png 2x"/></a>

This HTML template can be used to place an “Add to Smooch” button on your website.

Sample Application

An open source sample application implementing Smooch Connect has been created to help demonstrate how to get it working. Give Shoplifter a try.

The source code is available here.

OAuth Endpoints

Authorize

Request:

curl https://app.smooch.io/oauth/authorize?client_id=shoplifter&response_type=code

// This endpoint is not currently wrapped in a JavaScript lib

GET https://app.smooch.io/oauth/authorize

This endpoint begins the OAuth flow. It relies on a browser session for authentication. If the user is not logged in to Smooch they will be redirected to the login page. If the user has many apps, they will first be prompted to select the one they wish to integrate with. They will then be presented with an Allow/Deny dialog, describing details of the access your integration is requesting.

Parameter	Description
client_id required	Your integration’s unique identifier.
response_type required	For now the only acceptable value is `code`.
state optional	You may pass in any arbitrary string value here which will be returned to you along with the code via browser redirect.
redirect_uri optional	You may pass in a redirect_uri to determine which URI the response is redirected to. This URI must be contained in the list configured by your integration. If this option is not passed, the first URI present in the list will be used.

Success Response

A successful response is delivered via a 302 redirect to the redirect URI configured by your integration.

Parameter	Description
code	An authorization code which can be exchanged for an access token.
state	Your state parameter (if one was provided).

Error Response

Parameter	Description
error	For example: `access_denied`
state	Your state parameter (if one was provided)

Error Codes

Error Code	Delivery Method	Description
access_denied	302	The user denied access

Get Token

Request:

curl -X POST https://api.smooch.io/oauth/token \
     -d code=your_code \
     -d grant_type=authorization_code \
     -d client_id=shoplifter \
     -d client_secret=secret

// This endpoint is not currently wrapped in a JavaScript lib

POST https://app.smooch.io/oauth/token

This endpoint is used to exchange an authorization code for an access token. It should only be used in server-to-server calls.

Parameter	Description
code required	The authorization code received via `/oauth/authorize`
grant_type required	Must be set to `authorization_code`
client_id required	Your integration’s unique identifier
client_secret required	Your integration’s secret

Success Response:

Parameter	Description
access_token	An access token that can now be used to call Smooch APIs.
token_type	`Bearer`. All issued tokens are of this type.

Scope

The scope of an issued access token is integration scope. This allows API calls to be made to a specific Smooch app on behalf of an integration, identified by the integration’s clientId. The access token grants permission to get and create app users and conversations associated with the app. The token also grants permission to create webhooks, however only webhooks created for the integration will be visible. An access token with integration scope cannot see or modify webhooks that were created by other integrations, for example.

API Root	Access
/v1.1/appusers/\*	Yes
/v1.1/webhooks/\*	Yes
/v1.1/apps/\*	No
/v1.1/integrations/\*	No
/v1.1/menu/\*	No

Revoke Access

Request:

curl -X DELETE https://api.smooch.io/oauth/authorization \
     -H 'authorization: Bearer your-token'

// This endpoint is not currently wrapped in a JavaScript lib

Response:

200 OK

DELETE https://app.smooch.io/oauth/authorization

This endpoint is used to revoke your integration’s access to the user’s Smooch app. Revoking access means your integration will no longer be able to interact with the app, and any webhooks the integration had previously configured will be removed.

Calling this endpoint is equivalent to the user removing your integration manually in the Smooch web app. Your integration’s removeUrl (if configured) will also be called when an integration is removed in this way.

Changelog

v1.1

Released 2018-10-02

Webhooks

Webhooks include a version property
Removed support for message trigger. Use message:appUser and message:appMaker instead
triggers is now a required property when creating a webhook
message:appUser events support file messages. Previous versions sent them as text messages
postback, conversation:start, message:appUser and message:appMaker events now include truncated appUser schema
New message delivery webhooks have been introduced, described below. See the Delivery Events guide for more details:
- Removed delivery:success and delivery:failure webhook triggers which are replaced by message:delivery:channel and message:delivery:failure respectively
- message:delivery:channel triggers when messages are delivered to SDKs.
- message:delivery:failure can be triggered after a message:delivery:channel event if a message cannot be delivered to the user.
- message:delivery:user is a new trigger that allows to confirm the delivery of a message to a user for channels that support it.
- The payloads used to include a list of messages. They now only include one message and only contain an _id property.
- New properties isFinalEvent and externalMessages are included in these new webhook payloads.

AppUsers

API responses no longer include a devices array and a credentialRequired property. devices has been renamed to clients long ago and it was kept in API responses for backward compatibility
Link App User To Channel
- confirmation is now a required property
- skipConfirmation property is no longer supported
Pre-Create App User
- credentialRequired is no longer supported

Conversation

type is now a required property when posting a message
