Mutations

The root Mutation type in a GraphQL schema defines all the write operations that can change data. It is analogous to performing HTTP verbs such as POST, PATCH, and DELETE.

Mutations can take arguments as input similar to the body of a POST request in REST. Like GraphQL queries, mutations can also return fields. This can be useful for fetching the new state of an object after an update.

Mutations are structured like this:

mutation {
  theNameOfTheMutation {
    JSON objects to return
  }
}

approveSubmission

Approves a pending expert submission.

Mutation Details

approveSubmission(id: ID!): Submission!

Example

Mutation

mutation {
  approveSubmission(id: "e394e75b-e159-4d7c-a02c-9445da754994") {
    id
    status
    reviewedAt
  }
}

Response

"data": {
  "approveSubmission": {
    "id": "e394e75b-e159-4d7c-a02c-9445da754994",
    "status": "approved",
    "reviewedAt": 1550534056605
  }
},

  }
},

createPersona

Creates a persona on the GUURU platform that can be used to accept chats. This persona information will be shown to the end user as the author of the messages sent to the accepted chat.

Should be used when handling chats with agents on a third party tool.

The providerId is the unique id of the agent in your system of record. If multiple calls to createPersona are issued with the same providerId only one persona will be created. The subsequent requests will return the same id. You can also call this mutation to update the name, email or photo of an existing persona by passing the new information and the current providerId.

Mutation Details

input PersonaInput {
  "The ID of this persona in the system of record"
  providerId: ID!
  name: String!
  email: String
  photoUrl: String
}

createPersona(input: PersonaInput!): ID!

Example

A full working example of a call to createPersona is available in Examples.

Mutation

mutation {
  createPersona(input: {
    providerId: "any-unique-agent-id-from-your-system",
    name: "John Doe",
    email: "johndoe@example.com",
    photoUrl: "https://cdn.guuru.com/assets/logo/robotAvatar.png"
  })
}

Response

"data": {
  "createPersona": "ab22a12e-cefd-4f67-945b-c215c42202b4"
}

acceptChat

Accepts a pending chat assigned to an expert.

When handling chats with agents on a third party tool, use the personaId field. See Create Persona on how to create a persona.

An error will be returned if the chat was already accepted. You should expect and handle this error gracefully.

Mutation Details

input AcceptChatInput {
  personaId: ID!
}

acceptChat(id: ID!, input: AcceptChatInput): Chat!

Example

Mutation

mutation {
  acceptChat(id: "O2bqy2CsAaS7RBXZrhMOB", input: {
