Task Queues

TaskQueue helps the process management system to manage and control how tasks are executed and determine capable Workers to accomplish those Tasks. Tasks are evaluated through predefined Workflow and based on the evaluation results, Tasks are given to TaskQueue to handle by an appropriate Worker.

TaskQueue Properties

Properties
field description
sid The unique string that we created to identify the TaskQueue resource.
account_sid The SID of the Account that created the TaskQueue resource.
workspace_sid The SID of the Workspace that contains the TaskQueue
friendly_name The string that you assigned to describe the resource.
worker_requirements A JSON String for the JsonLogic rule , deciding the Worker relations for the TaskQueue
date_created The date and time in GMT when the resource was created, specified in ISO 8601 format.
date_updated The date and time in GMT when the resource was last updated, specified in ISO 8601 format.
url The absolute URL of the RateLimitProfile resource
links The URLs of related resources.

TaskQueue worker requirements

A TaskQueue’s worker requirements is a JsonLogic rule,used to simply and accurately represent the necessary features or skills required for handling a Task in this TaskQueue

For example , a worker with attributes such as the one below:

{
"name" : "john doe"
"age": 44
"department" : "support"
"location": "Utah"
}

would be receiving Tasks from a TaskQueue with worker_requirements as such:

{
"==":[{"var":"department"},"support"]
}

Because the requirement rules for the TaskQueue would be matching the attributes of the Worker.

Note

Understanding the “requirements vs attributes” model is fundamental.

With this requirements vs attributes model,you do not need to point out which TaskQueues a Worker needs to receive Tasks from or which Workers are suitable for the Tasks in a TaskQueue.

When you create a Worker , the Worker will automatically be receiving Tasks from appropriate TaskQueues. And when attributes of a Worker are updated, the Workers related TaskQueues are updated accordingly.

The same goes for TaskQueues : When requirements for a TaskQueue are updated , the related Workers for the TaskQueue are updated.

Create A TaskQueue

POST /v1/rindap-rest-gw/Workspaces/{WorkspaceSID}/TaskQueues

You can create a TaskQueue by simply providing a FriendlyName

Query Parameters
Parameter Type Default Description
WorkspaceSID String “” The SID of the Workspace
FriendlyName String “” Human readable friendly name. It can be 512 characters long
WorkerRequirements JSON Object {“==”:[1,1]} (optional) A URL-encoded JSON string , representing a JsonLogic rule for Worker relation

Example code pieces using SDKs

Shell

Java

// Install the Java helper library from rindap.com/docs/java/install

import com.rindap.Rindap;

public class Example {
    // Find your Account Sid and Token at rindap.com/console


    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Rindap.init("YOUR_ACCOUNT_SID","YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN");

        TaskQueue tq = TaskQueue.creator("WSxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")
            .setFriendlyName("my test task queue")
            .create();

        System.out.println(tq);
    }
}

Python

rindap = Rindap(client)

# Get Workspace with workspace_sid
workspace = rindap.workspaces.get("WSxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")

# Create a task queue
task_queue = workspace.task_queues.create("My new task queue")

# Print task queue content
print("TaskQueue FriendlyName: {}".format(task_queue.friendly_name))
print("TaskQueue Sid: {}".format(task_queue.sid))

JS

var Rindap = require('rindap');

// Authenticate
var rindap = new Rindap("YOUR_ACCOUNT_SID", "YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN");


// Crate a task queue
rindap.workspaces('WSxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx')
.taskQueues
.create({
    friendlyName: "Friendly Name"
}, function(err, taskQueue) {
    console.log(taskQueue.sid);
    console.log(taskQueue.friendlyName);
});

C#

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Authenticate
        RindapClient.Init("YOUR_ACCOUNT_SID", "YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN");

        // Create a taskQueue
        var taskQueue = TaskQueueResource.Create(
            pathWorkspaceSid: "WSxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",

        Console.WriteLine("TaskQueue Sid : " + taskQueue.Sid);
        Console.WriteLine("Friendly Name : " + taskQueue.FriendlyName);
