Webex Contacts API

Please add support for Contacts to the Webex API. Such that contacts can be added/edited/removed via the API.


This will be useful to anyone who wants to sync contacts with another application such as a cloud based CRM.

    This API is in the final phases before rollout. The scope is that of org contacts. These are contacts that are relevant to many people in the org. There is also the concept of group contacts. Notably excluded are user contacts from this release.

    This feature is key if you have a close relationship with another org and want a good UI experience for users without them having to know the fully qualified email. To keep this up to date, you need an automated process that allows these lists to be current.

    We need this API to be built to synchronize with another system that provides department contacts in our organization.

    Integration and seamless synchronisation are major requirements of our users!

    I agree with everyone commenting here, contact sources in Webex are a major hurdle to migrate from Jabber to Webex !

    Hi Cisco,

    we really need the contacts to be filled from our Identiy Management System. This is a big show stopper for implementing webex calling! Please consider implementing this in near future!


    tnx and regards Martin

    Jabber allowed storing its contacts in XML so we could have a company contact list and send it to everyone. With webex this is not possible, but we could have this with an API for contacts.

    Totally agree! This is such a basic feature, not sure why it isn't implemented.
