Integrating Cisco Webex Teams with your business: using Bots

What is a Cisco Webex Teams Bot, and what can it do?

Cisco Webex Teams is a collaboration solution that can connect small to large teams anytime, anywhere. Webex Teams includes the following capabilities to produce results faster in an organisation:

  • Messaging (Groups / One-to-one)
  • Meetings
  • Calling
  • Whiteboarding
  • And more…

Bots are like standard Webex Teams users, and they can be used for multiple purposes.  For example, for automation or to perform an action. Bots can be asked questions, and they can respond or perform different tasks. For example, a Bot can be asked: “what’s the weather like?”. A response can be provided either one-to-one or in a group space.

Unlike a standard Webex Teams user, however, a special badge is added to a bot’s avatar in the Webex Teams client so users know they’re interacting with a bot instead of a human. A bot can only access messages sent to it directly. In group spaces, bots must be @mentioned to access the message. In one-to-one spaces, a bot has access to all messages from the user.
