Webex Automation

Automate Cisco Webex collaboration workflows — send messages, manage rooms and teams, configure webhooks, and look up people — all through natural language.

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/webex

Setup

1. Add the Rube MCP server to your environment: https://rube.app/mcp
2. Connect your Webex account when prompted (OAuth flow via Composio)
3. Start issuing natural language commands for Webex automation

Core Workflows

1. Send a Message to a Room or Person

Post plain text, markdown, file attachments, or Adaptive Cards to any Webex room or directly to a person.

Tool: WEBEX_MESSAGING_CREATE_MESSAGE

Key parameters:

• roomId — target room ID (use WEBEX_MESSAGING_LIST_ROOMS to find it)
• toPersonEmail — send a private 1:1 message instead (mutually exclusive with roomId)
• text — plain text content (max 7439 bytes)
• markdown — markdown-formatted content (takes precedence over text)
• files — list of public URLs for file attachments (one file per message)
• attachments — Adaptive Card JSON (one card per message)
• parentId — reply to a specific message as a threaded response

Example prompt:

“Send a markdown message to room Y2lz… saying Deploy completed with a link to the release notes”

2. List and Discover Rooms

Browse all rooms you belong to, filtered by type, team, or sorted by activity.

Tool: WEBEX_MESSAGING_LIST_ROOMS

Key parameters:

• type — filter by direct (1:1) or group
• teamId — limit to rooms in a specific team
• sortBy — sort by id, lastactivity, or created
• max — limit results (1-1000, default 100)

Follow-up with WEBEX_MESSAGING_GET_ROOM_DETAILS to get full metadata for a specific room including title, type, lock status, creator, and timestamps.

Example prompt:

“List my 10 most recently active group rooms in Webex”

3. Manage Webhooks for Event-Driven Automation

Create webhooks to receive real-time HTTP POST notifications when Webex resources change.

Tool: WEBEX_WEBHOOKS_CREATE_WEBHOOK

Key parameters:

• name — human-friendly webhook name (required)

• event — trigger type: created, updated, deleted, started, ended, joined, left (required)
• filter — scope notifications (e.g., roomId=<id> or hostEmail=<email>)
• secret — optional HMAC secret for payload signature verification
• ownedBy — creator for personal or org for organization-wide webhooks

Supporting tools:

• WEBEX_LIST_WEBHOOKS — list all registered webhooks with optional max and ownedBy filters
• WEBEX_WEBHOOKS_GET_WEBHOOK — inspect a specific webhook by webhookId

Example prompt:

“Create a webhook called ‘New Messages’ that POSTs to https://my-app.com/hook whenever a message is created in room Y2lz…”

4. Manage Team Memberships

Add people to Webex teams and optionally grant moderator privileges.

Tool: WEBEX_MESSAGING_CREATE_TEAM_MEMBERSHIP

Use WEBEX_LIST_TEAMS to discover available teams first.
