The Cisco Webex Meetings bot helps you invite people to a Webex scheduled meeting directly in Workplace so people can join easily. You can quickly add a meeting link to your group chat that people can click to join easily from within the message.

After your System Administrator installs the Webex Meetings integration for Workplace, you can get started with the Webex Meetings bot. You must have a Webex Meetings account to use this app. Go to www.webex.com to sign up for an account for you or your company. All functionality with the Webex Bot works across both desktop and mobile experiences.


Cisco Webex Meetings Server sites are not supported.

Set the Webex site URL that you want to use for your Webex meetings by entering personalsite company.webex.com, where company.webex.com is your personal Webex site.

If you don't set your personal Webex site, the bot uses the group's Webex site URL. If the group's Webex site URL hasn't been set, the bot uses the community's Webex site URL, which your System Administrator set.

After your personal Webex site is set, you're ready to invite others to meetings in your Personal Room and join Webex scheduled meetings.
