Create Webex Teams Service

This procedure adds a Webex Teams service.

Webex Teams Feature Reference

Prequisites:

To allow VOSS-4-UC to connect to the Webex Teams Cloud API, obtain the following from the Cisco Webex page:

  • a Webex Teams Organization Account Number
  • an Access and Refresh token

Perform these steps:

  1. Log in to the Admin GUI as a provider or reseller administrator.

  2. Select the hierarchy path to the correct customer node.

  3. Select Services > Webex Teams > Access Token to display Webex Teams Account.

    The form opens on a separate tab, at the following URL: https://us-central1-webex-teams-auth-token.cloudfunctions.net/webex_teams_oauth

  4. Click the GET TOKENS link.

  5. In the Email address field on the Cisco Webex page, enter a valid email address; then, click Next.

    An email address and password are only required the first time you log in to the Cisco Webex site.

  6. In the Password field on the Cisco Webex page, enter a valid password; then, click Sign In.

  7. View the codes/tokens generated and displayed on the form:

    • Organization ID

    • Access Token (14 days)

    • Refresh Access Token (90 days)

      Note

      • VOSS-4-UC automatically refreshes the access tokens every 7 days. To manually refresh the access tokens, click GET TOKENS on the Webex Teams Account form or Action > Refresh Access Token on the Customer Access form.
      • The Refresh Token is valid for 90 days. The number of valid days remaining for the access token is displayed in the Refresh Token Expires in counter on the Webex Teams Access Token Management for VOSS4UC page.
      • See https://developer.webex.com/docs/integrations for more details on access token management.
  8. Click on each Copy button in turn to copy the item, return to the VOSS-4-UC tab, and paste in the appropriate field on the Customer Access form. Note that the access tokens must also be pasted into the ‘Repeat’ fields.

  9. Fill out, at minimum, the other mandatory fields on the Customer Access form under Account Details:

    Field Description
    Webex Teams Customer Name Populated automatically, using the customer name.
    Default Calling Behaviour Can be applied to synced in users, if also set in Global Settings (Automatically apply default calling behaviour on Webex Teams user data sync)
