Hi 

Yes should be possible. 

You can run docker app on IOx devices.

Hi,



Thank you for your message.



I will check it and try find solution. Idea is create chat bot in webex where user write message "usage" and get response from RT with monthly usage of data for particular router.



Thank you for your links

Hi @prestigio391 ,

This is very possible and you have given me some great ideas!   Thank you!

the post below goes over all the parts you need and what I used for one Chatbot application that is pretty similar to what you are doing.

I found the webexteams module the easiest to use but there are others if you want to look around.  This is what I used.

Also, I suggest checking this DevNet Lab out

Its good info and it will also give you a good Docker container to use for testing if you need it.
