WebEx/Spark meeting ids

[jpfuntne]

My team has some Jenkins Groovy code which uses the sparkSend plugin to send messages to a WebEx space.  This is working fine and I think it comes from the previous incarnation as Spark but the code is using a hard-coded UUID for the room ID such as 51a1ea20-18f5-11e8-b585-89efece6c416.  When I use the WebEx API to get the list of rooms, the same room/space has a 72 character ID such as Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1JPT00vNTFhMWVhMjAtMThmNS0xMWU4LWI1ODUtODllZmVjZTZjNDE2.

sparkSend doesn't seem to like using the current ID style (72 characters).  If I want to use the plugin to write to another space, how do I get the UUID for it?

I think I have an answer.  After a quick look at the jenkinsci/cisco-spark-notifier-plugin repo to see what it did with the room ID, I tried to do a base64 decode of the 72-character string and it yielded the UUID!

$ echo Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1JPT00vNTFhMWVhMjAtMThmNS0xMWU4LWI1ODUtODllZmVjZTZjNDE2 | base64 -d

I guess this question suits very well to the Webex-Admin-Forum..
