Types

The most basic components of a GraphQL schema are object types, which just represent a kind of object you can fetch from our service, and what fields it has.

Every GraphQL service defines a set of types which completely describe the set of possible data you can query on that service. This page describes the types defined by the Guuru API.

Partner

Represents information about the partner to which the authentication token you are using corresponds to.

type Partner {
  id: ID!
  state: PartnerState
  payouts: Payouts!
  chats(
    first: Int!
    after: String
    orderBy: ChatOrder
    startDate: Timestamp
    endDate: Timestamp
  ): ChatConnection!
  experts(
    first: Int!
    after: String
    orderBy: ExpertOrder
  ): ExpertConnection!
  submissions(
    filters: [SubmissionFilterType],
    orderBy: SubmissionOrder,
    first: Int,
    after: String
  ): SubmissionsConnection!
}

type ChatOrder {
  direction: OrderDirection!
  field: ChatOrderField!
}

enum OrderDirection {
  asc
  desc
}

enum ChatOrderField {
  id
}

type ChatConnection {
  edges: [ChatEdge!]!
  pageInfo: PageInfo!
}

type ChatEdge {
  cursor: String!
  node: Chat!
}

type Payouts {
  experts(
    first: Int!
    after: String
    period: Timestamp!
  ): ExpertConnection!
}

type ExpertConnection {
  edges: [ExpertEdge!]!
  pageInfo: PageInfo!
}

type ExpertEdge {
  cursor: String!
  node: Expert!
}

type PageInfo {
  hasNextPage: Boolean!
  endCursor: String
}

PartnerState

Represents the current runtime state of a Partner, which is a function of the configured settings and the current system state (e.g. number of experts online).

While settings are relatively static and only change when reconfigured by a Partner, the state is dynamic and depends on parameters that may change at any minute, like the number of experts available.

type PartnerState {
  chat: PartnerStateChat
}

type PartnerStateChat {
  isAvailable: Boolean!
}
  • isAvailable: When true, the chat window should be shown and new chats can be created by end users. Otherwise, the chat window should not be displayed and new chats cannot be created.

Submission

Represents the submissions requests from experts to join the partner community.

type Submission implements Node {
  id: ID!
  createdAt: Timestamp
  reviewedAt: Timestamp
  verificationCode: String
  expert: Expert
  status: SubmissionStatus
}

enum SubmissionStatus {
  pending
  approved
  rejected
}

Chat

Represents a conversation initiated by an end-user, and possibily answered by an expert.

The type Timestamp is represented by a positive integer which counts the number of milliseconds since the Unix Epoch (i.e. January 1, 1970).

The JSON posting accepts the following fields:

  • type: String!
  • text: String
  • mimetype: String
  • address: String
  • filename: String
type Chat {
  id: ID!
  createdAt: Timestamp
  acceptedAt: Timestamp
  closedAt: Timestamp
  ratedAt: Timestamp
  isAssignedToAgent: Boolean
  question: String
  rating: Rating
  status: ChatStatus
  language: Language
  expert: Expert
  user: User
  transfer: Transfer
  category: Category
  messages(
    first: Int!
    after: String
  ): MessageConnection!
}

enum Rating {
  good
  average
  bad
}

enum ChatStatus {
  created
  assigned
  open
  closed
  rated
  handover
  missed
}

input ChatMessageInput {
    chatId: ID!
    posting: JSON
}

type MessageConnection {
  edges: [MessageEdge!]!
  pageInfo: PageInfo!
}

type MessageEdge {
  cursor: String!
  node: Message!
}

type PageInfo {
  hasNextPage: Boolean!
  endCursor: String
}

Message

Represents a message in a chat.

The field hideForUser is true when the message is not intended to be displayed to the user (customer) asking the question. Conversely the field hideForExpert is true when the message is not intended to be displayed to the expert answering the question.

interface Message {
  hideForUser: Boolean!
  hideForExpert: Boolean!
  createdAt: Timestamp!
  author: Author!
}

type AttachmentMessage implements Message {
  attachment: Attachment!
  hideForUser: Boolean!
  hideForExpert: Boolean!
  createdAt: Timestamp!
  author: Author!
}

type Attachment {
  mimetype: String
  url: String
}

type TextMessage implements Message {
  text: String
  hideForUser: Boolean!
  hideForExpert: Boolean!
  createdAt: Timestamp!
  author: Author!
}

union Author = ExpertAuthor | UserAuthor | BotAuthor

type ExpertAuthor {
  name: String
  email: String
  photoUrl: String
}

type UserAuthor {
  name: String
  email: String
  phone: String
}

type BotAuthor {
  name: String
  photoUrl: String
}

Category

Represents the category of the chat.

type Category {
  id: ID!
  name: String
}

Transfer

Represents the entity who received the chat when the expert transfered it.

type Transfer {
  id: ID!
  createdAt: Timestamp!
  notificationSentAt: Timestamp
  confirmedAt: Timestamp
  reason: String
  receiver: String
  type: String
}

Expert

Represents an user answering to questions on behalf of a Partner. It can either be a guuru (an expert customer helping other customers) or an agent (a company representative on a partner payroll).

type Expert {
  id: ID!
  name: String
  email: String
  summary: String
  balance: [Balance!]!
}

type Balance {
  amount: Int!
  currency: Currency!
}

Community

Represents a group of Guurus (an expert customer helping other customers) that are in a specific Partner.

Here's a practical example of what you can do with this: Guuru Community Page.

type Community implements Node @cacheControl(maxAge: 300){
    id: ID!
    experts(first: Int, after: String): CommunityExpertConnection! @cacheControl(maxAge: 300)
    expert(expertId: ID!, partnerId: ID!): CommunityExpert @cacheControl(maxAge: 300)
}

type CommunityExpertEdge {
    cursor: String!
    node: CommunityExpert! @cacheControl(maxAge: 3600)
}

type CommunityExpertConnection {
    edges: [CommunityExpertEdge!]! @cacheControl(maxAge: 3600)
    pageInfo: PageInfo!
}

Community Expert

Represents a Guuru in a Community.

type CommunityExpert implements Node {
    id: ID!
    name: String!
    photoUrl: String
    bio: String
    rating: Float
    joinedAt: Timestamp
    bestFeedbackComments: [FeedbackComment]! @cacheControl(maxAge: 3600)
}

type FeedbackComment {
    comment: String
}

User

Represents an end-user asking questions.

type User {
  id: ID!
  name: String
  email: String
  phone: String
  ipAddress: String
}
