A Ruby wrapper for the Desk.com API
gem install desk
Renamed to Desk Newer faraday, faraday_middleware and hashie
Newer faraday, faraday_middleware and multixml versions
Newer multijson version for Rails 3.1 compatibility
Resolved an issue that was breaking PUT requests.
Removed deep_merge because it conflicts with rails. Handling the merge inside the create_outbound_interaction method only on headers for now, until we need it elsewhere.
Added deep_merge support so that we keep any custom email headers when creating outbound interactions. Required pony in the gem so you don't have to include it in your app.
Stopped returning only the 'results' array when listing things, because this would cause us to not have access to page numbers, total counts, etc.
Added support for Topics, Articles, and Macros, which is currently all that is available in the Assistly API.
Added the ability to create outbound communications over email
This is the first release of the Assistly gem, based on the Twitter gem. Support for most of the Assistly API are handled. There is not yet support for Content or Macros.
Help! I'm getting: "Did not recognize your engine specification. Please specify either a symbol or a class. (RuntimeError)"
You'll need to explicitly require a JSON library. We recommend yajl-ruby.
require "rubygems"

# Create an outbound interaction
# Desk.com's API doesn't support creating outbound communications, so we do this over email with a BCC back to Desk and customer headers.
# Desk.support_email must be set to your Desk.com email address so that the email can be sent to the account and give the customer someone to respond to.
