Pub/sub – DEPRECATED

DEPRECATED

By subscribing to various Faye channels it is possible to get (near) realtime updates.

Authentication

We recommend using one of the official Faye clients when connecting. It takes care of a lot of the brunt WebSocket connections work you’d otherwise have to do.

You can get a client from here: https://faye.jcoglan.com/.

Once you have the client, you must get an employee access token as described in the Authentication guide.

You should now be able to connect as shown in the example code below. This code connects to our https://pubsub.firmafon.dk/faye endpoint.

It authenticates by always sending along the employee access_token on outgoing messages.

Then it subscribes to the company’s presence and call2 channels to get messages when employees become busy or take a call respectively. Try calling someone in your company or setting yourself on do not disturb to see the events live.

You can read more about those channels below.
