New Webex Bot Creation and API access

Anand G — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 11:46:01 GMT

Hi All,

Our team engineers are planning to create a new bot in Webex. The ultimate goal is to use this bot for asking query within the specified uploaded documents by our team. What are the minimal requirements to achieve this task. Do we have any procedural document to create a new bot? Does it need any API access? Is there any charges involved to team department?

Kindly reach out to me for any queries.

Regards,
Anand G

Thanks for sharing the doc. I was able to successfully create a new bot. A bot access token was generated and request to proceed to next step. I do not see any next steps. Can you guide me? This is something very new topic to me.

You could just integrate a bot for this https://apphub.webex.com/category/doc-management - or you can build a bot that can access and process documents directly, using tools like the Node Bot Framework.

Hi bigevilbeard,

I am planning to develop a Webex bot to make my policy optimizer tool accessible to Cisco employees. This tool requires uploading large configuration file as input. Could you please confirm if Webex supports large file upload? If there are limitations, could you suggest any recommended workarounds?
