We need to create a monitor that will show any income calls in our extranet in live time.
We were able to show active calls by using /account/~/extension/~/active-calls, however, to achieve what we need we would need to make a request each second which I guess will be blocked by rate limits.
Is there a better solution for it?
Thanks
Subscription (Push Notification) API resource empowers developers to enable the client application(s) to create a single subscription (to one or more extension's) and continually receive push notifications in real time for each subscribed extension.When using this approach for your application(s) to receive events on your RingCentral account, no polling is involved.
You can create a subscription using either of the below-mentioned transportType for receiving push notifications:
PubNub
WebHook
Notifications which the client wants to receive can be specified by the event filters which are set in the subscription request. The event filter is exposed as a URL, pointing to the required RingCentral API resource. Currently the following event types are available for notifications: extensions, messages and presence. They are described in detail below:
Notifications Event Types
You can take a look at the Subscription API below:

If you are interested in Subscribing to Push notifications via WebHook then we have an Easy-to-follow Quickstart guide here:

Problem: My use case is I want to publish thousends of messages to Google Cloud Pub/Sub with a 5min retention period but only retrieve specific messages by their ID - So a cloud function will retrieve one message by ID using the Nodejs SDK and all the untreated messages will be deleted by the retention policy. All the current examples mention are to handle random messages from the subscriber.
Is it possible to just pull 1 message by id or any other metadata and close the connection.
There is no way to retrieve individual messages by ID, no. It doesn't really fit into the expected use cases for Cloud Pub/Sub where the publishers and subscribers are meant to be decoupled, meaning the subscriber inherently doesn't know the message IDs prior to receiving the messages.
You may instead want to transmit the messages via whatever mechanism you are using to making the subscribers aware of the message IDs. Or, if you know at publish time which messages will ultimately need to be retrieved, you could add an attribute to the message to indicate this and use filtering.
Before I waste to much time on this I was wondering is it technically possible to send from a Lambda a custom event to Event Bridge to SNS to Chatbot to Slack.
I have written all the infrastructure and I know that it works for non custom messages. So if I have a message with a source of aws.lambda in the rule then when I deploy the Lambda I get the eventual Slack notification.
However if I change the source to a custom source in the rule and use that in the code of the Lambda I get from the SDK call success but no Slack message. From turning on the Chatbot logging I get the following message Event received is not supported (see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/chatbot/latest/adminguide/related-services.html )
I am sort of hoping against hope that I am not sending something in on the SDK put events call that this integration although the api call only offers a limited amount of what you can change.
I did notice that the message sent to Slack from a standard event is much bigger that the one sent as a custom event.
Realistically its just looking that the Chatbox Slack integration is an extremely limited one confined to standard events on a subset of services.
Can someone confirm if this is possible or am I right in my conclusion about the limitations of the integration.
I am new to pub/sub on GCP and have some difficulties on understanding some concepts. So if I want to get email every time I have new message in my mailbox, can I use Pub/Sub for that? How the push notification work in that case? I understand the subscriber concepts but I have some difficulties in the publisher concepts. Can anyone help?
Although I am not familiar with the Gmail API (I am specialized mainly in GCP), a quick read over the documentation can provide some really useful insights about this topic. Also, as per your question, I think your doubts are more related to Pub/Sub itself, rather than Gmail API, so let me try to clarify some things for you.
I can see in the Gmail API documentation, that you can configure Gmail to send push notifications using Cloud Pub/Sub topics, in such a way that Gmail sends publish requests to a Pub/Sub topic whenever a mailbox update matches the configuration you established. Although I cannot get into much details about this part of the scenario, from the documentation I understand that the way to configure the Gmail push notifications is to make a watch() request with the configuration you want and pointing a Pub/Sub topic that you should have previously created. Once this is set (and also permissions are correctly configured), Gmail would keep publishing mailbox message updates for a period of 7 days (after a week, you have to re-call watch()).
In order to receive notifications, you can now forget completely about the Gmail API, and you can focus on Pub/Sub. You should create a Pub/Sub subscription (using either Pull or Push configuration, depending on your requirements), so that your client (wherever and whatever it is) receives the Pub/Sub messages that work as a notification. You may have to acknowledge the messages so that they are not retried, too.
As a side note, given that you mentioned that the Pub/Sub subscriber concepts are more or less clear to you, and you would like to know more about publishing, let me share with you some links that may come in handy for a better understanding of the environment:
Pub/Sub main concepts.
Typical Pub/Sub flow.
General guide for Pub/Sub publishers.
In the scenario you are presenting (Gmail notifications using Pub/Sub), you would have to create a topic (with the name you want, let's name it gmail_topic), and the Gmail API would be your publisher. What the watch() method would be doing, behind the scenes, is calling the publish() method to send messages (containing information about mailbox updates) to your topic gmail_topic. Messages are passed to Pub/Sub subscriptions (which you can create and bind to the gmail_topic), and they retained in each of the subscriptions for 7 days (the maximum retention period) until you consume and acknowledge them.
I have enabled the "notify-keyspace-events" for redis node, and getting the event published on key change on subscription.
But, I want to understand, what redis does with the events to be published if there are no subscribers to any key.
Any information or links, which could help me understand will be appreciated.
It is a fire and forget model. If there are no subscribers available, it will drop those events. It will even drop even if the subscriber is not available or will not be able to take those events.
Documentation from Redis:
https://redis.io/topics/notifications
Snippet from documentation,
Because Redis Pub/Sub is fire and forget currently there is no way to
use this feature if your application demands reliable notification of
events, that is, if your Pub/Sub client disconnects, and reconnects
later, all the events delivered during the time the client was
disconnected are lost.
The CF events api lists an "actor_type" field for events, which can be one of:
service_broker
system
user
v3-process
What is an example of an audit event's actor type being each of the above? Where is the documentation, at a higher level than a summary of the REST endpoints, and in more detail than this, for someone trying to consume this api?
actor_type represents what initiated the event. Similarly, actee_type is the resource that is being acted upon.
user: Most events (e.g. starting/stopping/deleting an app) will have actor_type "user", since the event was triggered by a user action.
service_broker: Some audit events are triggered by service brokers. Examples are registering a service offering or a service plan.
system: System is used when there is not a clear actor. There is currently a bug filed to investigate usage of this actor_type: https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/132099009
v3-process: This was recently changed to be "process" in cf v245. This actor_type (along with the actor_type "app") is only used when the process/app crashes. There is also a bug around this actor_type: https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/132098945
I could not find any documentation for audit events other than the API docs. How are you trying to consume the events API?
