Cisco Webex Overview#

The Cisco Webex API allows developers to integrate their applications with Cisco's robust collaboration tools, creating a workflow of communication within teams and automating various aspects of the meeting lifecycle, from scheduling to follow-up actions. With this API, you can streamline meeting setups, fetch detailed information about participants and meetings, send messages to spaces (rooms), and manage your Webex resources programmatically. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can connect these features with other apps to automate complex tasks, analyze meeting data, enhance productivity, and maintain a well-organized communication ecosystem.

Trigger Code#

import constants from "../../common/constants.mjs";
import common from "../common/webhook.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "cisco_webex-new-message",
  name: "New Message (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a message is added. [See the docs here](https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/guides/webhooks#webex-webhooks)",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.1.0",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getWebhookName() {
      return "New Message";
    },
    getResourceType() {
      return constants.RESOURCE_TYPE.MESSAGES;
    },
    getEventType() {
      return constants.EVENT_TYPE.CREATED;
    },
    getMetadata(body) {
      const {
        data: resource,
        created,
      } = body;
      return {
        id: resource.id,
        summary: `New message created by ${resource.personEmail}`,
        ts: Date.parse(created),
      };
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Cisco Webex	`ciscoWebex`	`app`	This component uses the Cisco Webex app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.

Trigger Authentication#

Cisco Webex uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Cisco Webex account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Cisco Webex and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Cisco Webex API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

spark:allspark-admin:people_readspark-admin:people_writespark:devices_readspark:devices_write

RSS Overview#

The RSS app allows users to automatically fetch and parse updates from web feeds. This functionality is pivotal for staying abreast of content changes or updates from websites, blogs, and news outlets that offer RSS feeds. With Pipedream, you can harness the RSS API to trigger workflows that enable a broad range of automations, like content aggregation, monitoring for specific keywords, notifications, and data synchronization across platforms.
