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

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

filter -- scope notifications (e.g., roomId=<id> or hostEmail=<email>)
secret -- optional HMAC secret for payload signature verification

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..."

Known Pitfalls

| Pitfall | Details | |---------|---------| | Webhook auto-disable | Target URL must respond with HTTP 2xx; 100 failures in 5 minutes disables the webhook automatically | | Message size limit | Both text and markdown have a 7439-byte maximum | | One file per message | The files array accepts a list but only one attachment is actually supported per message | | One card per message | Only one Adaptive Card attachment is supported per message | | Mutually exclusive targets | roomId and toPersonEmail/toPersonId cannot be used together when sending messages | | Room update requires title | WEBEX_UPDATE_ROOM always requires the title parameter, even when only changing lock status or team | | orgPublicSpaces conflicts | Cannot combine orgPublicSpaces with teamId, type, or sortBy when listing rooms | | Webhook read scope | Creating a webhook requires read scope on the monitored resource type | | Membership filter requires roomId | personEmail and personId filters in list memberships require roomId unless you are a Compliance Officer |
