Webex App sync
Note
From release 25.1, Webex Contact Center sync excludes an updated device model instances list for Webex Calling sync - see the exclusion list at: Webex Contact Center Sync. In particular, device models have been added to support call handling over trunks to Webex supported devices:
The default Webex Calling sync that is used to sync Webex Calling data and is available from the Data Sync list applies:
This list type contains an empty ``exclusion`` list, that is, all device model instances are synced. If you need to exclude any models then you can update this list.

Use the Action search to navigate Automate
A default sync schedule has the following name format: SyncSpark-SCHED-XXX
Two sync methods
Important
To properly sync in calling behavior settings, ensure the sync setting Quick Import is set to False (disabled), and Refresh Existing (Changed) Data is set to True (enabled) on all data syncs that include the device/Spark/user model. By default, these are:
These are the default settings for the device/spark/User syncs, but it is important to ensure they correctly configured before syncing in users.
Note
When syncing in Webex data to Automate from the Control Hub, Automate's device models apply the WebexAppCallingLicenseNameWKSP macro in the provisioning workflows and syncs to check for the following license types, both of which are considered valid calling licenses:
The license checks allow the system to determine whether a device or number should be retained in a sync, preventing unintended deletions.
Synced in Webex numbers
Webex numbers are synced in and maintained in device/spark/Number and the Number Inventory.
The numbers of synced in Cisco Webex users display the following settings and values in the Number Inventory (see Number Status and Usage):
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Status | Used |
| Usage | User |
| Vendor | Webex Calling |

Synced in Rooms, Teams, Groups
Rooms, Teams and Groups details are synced in as read-only data to device/spark/Room, device/spark/Team, and device/spark/Group, respectively.
Synced in Calling
Calling is synced in to device/spark/UserConfig, where the settings can be managed per user if the assigned license of which is "Webex Calling - Professional".
