The Twitter bot for Webex App allows you to connect your Twitter account to a Webex App space. Connect to your spaces, and receive customizable notifications such as @mentions, direct messages and hashtags to see who's talking about your business, or catch up with your followers.

The image above shows examples of Cisco-developed bots in use. |
Bots in Webex App
Bots can help to extend the functionality of Webex App to include a third-party app. You can add bots to Webex App spaces and interact directly with the third-party app from the space. When you've added the bot to the space you can send
ahelp
message to the bot and the response includes the commands that the bot supports.
You can add a bot to any type of space; add a bot to your project space with other people and interact directly with the third-party app from your space. Or you can create a space with just you and the bot to interact with the third-party app.
The Webex App Hub contains a catalog of bots and apps developed by Cisco and third-party developers.
Cards in Webex App
Bots can present information within Webex App in various ways. However, using cards makes it easier for users to interact directly with the bot’s response to a command. You can select from drop-down menus, use buttons, and even use text fields to update and gather information.
For more information on the cards framework, see https://developer.webex.com/blog/new-buttons-cards.
You can report any issues on the bot with cards to devsupport@webex.com
