Can we configure Twilio Flex's wrap up time? - sdk

Is it possible to and how can we configure the wrap up time an agent sees after they end a call? At the moment, the agent has to manually "complete" a call. Is there any way we can time that out?

My agents asked me to disable wrap up phase of task. Try to use Event call back of taskrouter workspace, and send task update events to tilio function. Then update task to closed state. If you need to set timeout - keep in mind, that twilio function timeout is 10 seconds.

we have wrap up of 30s configured and sometimes our agent are getting stuck at wrap-up state. Not sure why they haven't given an option to set up wrap up state out of the box like most contact centers have. Some of the things in twilio flex doesn't make sense.

How to know why event bridge invoke failed?

I have a lambda function. It's deployed by serverless. So a rule always be created in my custom event bus automatically. After I send a test event to my bus. This rule can be triggered. But is always invoke fail. I try to find the reason but nothing can be saw beside invoke metrics.
Strangely, if I manually create a rule for the same. This manually created rule can always fire and successfully invoke the lambda function.
Let me answer it myself. I solved it.
AWS eventbridge has no logging. However, by configuring the dead letter queue to reduce the number of retries and the holding time of the unprocessed state, events that cannot be successfully called by the target service can be entered into the dead letter queue as soon as possible.
Then, we can see the error code and error message in the attributes of the message.

How to test expected delay time on page element (fixed wait, debounce) with Playwright

How to test implemented fixed delay on webpage with Playwright (exactly: debounce)?
I have simple scenario. User, after entering input need to wait fixed time for response i.e. 1000ms.
How to test that exact wait with Plawright?
Looked at https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/4405 but I wonder if there is more elegant way to do this?
Well usually there is a better way than to hardcode a waiting time.
Wait for certain API calls
Wait for network idle (= wait for started calls to finish)
Wait for an event
However there are times when hardcoding is inevitable. What I've used is page.waitForTimeout()
Wait for 2 seconds:
await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
Official docs: https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page#page-wait-for-timeout
"Waits for the given timeout in milliseconds.
Note that page.waitForTimeout() should only be used for debugging.
Tests using the timer in production are going to be flaky. Use signals
such as network events, selectors becoming visible and others
instead."

Dataflow Sliding Window vs Global window with trigger usecase?

I am designing a basket abandoning system for an Ecommerce company. The system will send a message to a user based on the below rules:
There is no interaction by the user on the site for 30 minutes.
Has added more than $50 worth of products to the basket.
Has not yet completed a transaction.
I use Google Cloud Dataflow to process the data and decide if a message should be sent. I have couple of options in below:
Use a Sliding window with a duration of 30 minutes.
A global window with a time based trigger with a delay of 30 minutes.
I think Sliding Window might work here. But my question is, can there be a solution based on using a global window with a processing time based trigger and a delay for this usecase?
As far as i understand the triggers based on Apache Beam documentation =>
Triggers allow Beam to emit early results, before a given window is closed. For example, emitting after a certain amount of time elapses, or after a certain number of elements arrives.
Triggers allow processing late data by triggering after the event time watermark passes the end of the window.
So, for my use case and as per the above trigger concepts, i don't think the trigger can be triggered after a set delay for each and every user (It is mentioned in above - can emit only after a certain number of elements it is mentioned above, but not sure if that could be 1). Can you confirm?
Both answers 1 - Sliding Windows and 2 - Global Window are incorrect
Sliding windows is not correct because - assuming there is one key per user, a message will be sent 30 minutes after they first started browsing even if they are still browsing
Global Windows is not correct because - it will cause messages to be sent out every 30 minutes to all users regardless of where they are in their current session
Even Fixed Windows would be incorrect in this case, because assuming there is one key per user, a message will be sent every 30 minutes
Correct answer would be - Use a session window with a gap duration of 30 minutes
This is correct because it will send a message per user after that user is inactive for 30 minutes
I think that sliding window is the correct approach from what you described, and I don't think you can solve this with trigger+delay. If event time sliding windowing makes sense from your business logic perspective, try to use it first, that's what it's for.
My understanding is that while you can use a trigger to produce early results, it is not guaranteed to fire at specific (server/processing) time or with exact number of elements (received so far for the window). The trigger condition enables/unblocks the runner to emit the window contents but it doesn't force it to do so.
In case of event time this makes sense, as it doesn't matter when the event arrives or when the trigger fires, because if the element has a timestamp within a window, then it will be assigned to the correct window no matter when it arrives. And when the trigger will fire for the window, the element will be guaranteed to be in that window if it has arrived.
With processing time you can't do this. If event arrives late, it will be accounted for at that time, and will be emitted next time the trigger fires, basically. And because the trigger doesn't guarantee the exact moment it fires you can potentially end up with unexpected data belonging to unexpected emitted panes. It is useful to get the early results in general but I am not sure if you can reason about windowing based on that.
Also, trigger delay only adds a fire delay (e.g. if it was supposed to fire at 12pm, not it will fire at 12.05pm) but it doesn't allow you to reliably stagger multiple trigger firings so that it goes off at specific intervals.
You can look at the design doc for triggers here: https://s.apache.org/beam-triggers , and possibly lateness doc may be relevant as well: https://s.apache.org/beam-lateness
Other docs can be found here, if you are interested: https://beam.apache.org/contribute/design-documents/ .
Update:
Rui pointed that this use case can be more complicated and probably not easily solvable by sliding windows. Maybe it's worth looking into session windows or manual logic on top of keys+state+timers
I find state[1] and timer[2] doc of Apache Beam, which should be able to handle this specific use case without using processing time trigger in global window.
Assuming the incoming data are events of users' actions, and each event(action) can be keyed by user_id.
The nice property that state and timer have is on per key and window basis. So you can accumulate state for each user_id and the state is amount of money in cart in this case. Timer can be set at the first time when amount in cart exceeds $50, and timer can be reset when user still have shopping actions within 30 mins in processing time.
Assume transaction completion is also a user_id keyed event. When an transaction completion event is seen, timer can be deleted[3].
update:
This idea is completely on processing time domain so it will have false alarm messages depending on lateness problem in system. So the question is how to improve this idea to event time domain so we have less false alarm. One possibility is event time based timer[4]. I am not clear what does event time based timer mean at this moment.

How can I check from my code if there's something enqueued in Sidekiq?

When certain conditions are met, I'd like to schedule a worker to run a particular job in 5 minutes. The thing is, if the same conditions are met again, I want to check if there's something scheduled to run. If there is such a worker scheduled to run, then, I don't want to enqueue again, but if there isn't, it should be queued. I hope you guys understood what I'm trying to do. Can it be achieved? If yes, how?
Sounds like you want to use or implement a simple persisted lock. The code that enqueues the job can first check for the availability of the lock, acquire and enqueue if available, skip if not. The enqueued job can be responsible for releasing the lock. You'll want to account for failure, like adding a lock timeout. The redis-mutex gem may be a useful implementation of this idea.
Best practices promote jobs that are idempotent. This means that you should be writing them in such a way that it should be safe to run them more than once. Any subsequent call doesn't change the result of the first call. You achieve this by writing logic that does the proper checks, and acts accordingly. Since you don't provide a description of what your worker does, I can't be more specific.
For an example, here is a link to the Sidekiq's FAQ: Make your workers idempotent and transactional
The benefit of this approach is that you're playing along the convenient abstraction of scheduled workers, instead of fighting against it.

Send feedback to the user for a long running operation in Grails?

I have a long running operation in my Grails application. My first solution is simply to perform the operation in the controller and let the user wait until the action is finished. This is not an acceptable solution, I want to show the user the progress of the action. The progress is simply text. The action can take from 10 seconds to roughly 30 minutes.
How can I show the progress to the user for my long running action?
First you might want to try the Executor plugin so you can run the job in the background. This works quite well.
Then I guess you have 2 options. Have the browser poll the server via Ajax for an update (as Tim pointed out the JProgress plugin would do something like this for you) or get even more bleeding edge and consider HTML5 WebWorkers for a kind of server push approach. WebWorkers are not available in
You will need something like a Task or Job domain class with a field percentageComplete. The controller will create and save the Task or Job and then spawn a new thread to execute it. Perhaps place the execution code in a service.
It will be up to your execution code to update the Task or Job's percentageComplete field as it completes its task. Then you can poll the job (via ajax) to see how the job is progressing.
Note: determining that percentage which is complete is very much to up to your specific code. You will probably have to just come up with a best guess based on the knowledge you have. Even for an operation where it is obvious how to determine percentage complete (like a file download), it is not certain (network issues, etc.)
Can you determin the state of your progress? Let's say in percent?
I would create the long operation as a quarz job (background) and query the state of job/ long running progress via ajax.
The JProgress plugin might help, but I've never tried it out...
