APIs and webhooks for status and availablility

In order to integrate Webex with external system, it must be possible to map and to exchange status information between Webex and the 3rd party system. This must be part of the centralized cloud offering and accessible via APIs.

As a result, the requirement is the following:

  • allow to add personalized status information in Webex, such as

    • in building xyz

    • in a agile sprint

    • sick at home

    • available

    • away

    • busy

    • do not disturb

    • offline

  • per configuration it must be possible to set the status on specific webex events, such as

    • take webex phone call

    • no user activity since 3 ... 10 min

    • stop a webex call

    • enter or leave a meeting room

  • set and access the status information via API (GET, PUT, UPDATE)

  • display the custom status to others

  • set webhooks for status changes

    • status changed in general

    • status changed to a specific status A

    • status changed from a specific status A to a specific status B

This is important for the synchronisation with other IT systems that show similar information and control the communication between different parties.

    About the push mechanism, please, can you consider to implement a websocket based implementation instead of a webhook one? Would be much more easy to use from a third party application: for example, would allow (more easily) to integrate into a single app web page.

    This would be very powerful in conjunction with https://ciscocollabcustomer.ideas.aha.io/ideas/WXCUST-I-4720 because then we could use APIs to schedule a custom status for users when they book a location for hybrid working.

    We would very much would appreciate the implementation of the webhook for status changes at an organization/admin level.
    We have many customers asking for an integration with webex, and the status-webhook feature is something that would help a lot.
