The chat report export is a REST service that exports chat sessions from jtel to an external system.

The report export can be initiated manually by agents in the chat session, using the Report Export button:

Notes: this requires the implementation of a REST service by the customer on the customer back-end system. The report export button will only appear, if the URL is configured in the Report Export Post parameters.

The configuration of the report export is performed in the Chat Connector configuration, on the REST tab.

Phase 1 - Token Post

Phase 1 is used to acquire an access token for the operation.

Note: This is not necessary if a token is not required, and all necessary information can be provided in the second post request.
