Event

Conversations and other Vonage objects such as Members and Applications generate Events. When key activities occur an event is generated, which can be handled by the application. For example when a User joins a Conversation a member:joined event is fired. Other events include app:knocking, and conversation:created. If a Vonage Application has rtc as a capability, it will receive the dispatched event on the rtc event_url webhook.

Handling Events

The following code snippet shows that code can be executed based on the event fired:

...
    events.forEach((value, key) => {
        if (conversation.members[value.from]) {
            const date = new Date(Date.parse(value.timestamp))
            switch (value.type) {
                case 'text:seen':
                    ...
                    break;
                case 'text:delivered':
                    ...
                    break;
                case 'text':
                    ...
                    break;
                case 'member:joined':
                    ...
                    break;
                case 'member:left':
                    ...
                    break;
                case 'member:invited':
                    ...
                    break;
                case 'member:media':
                    ...
                    break;
                default:
                ...
            }
        }
    })
...
