I want to be able to add the Bot to any Webex group space

[shrwnaik]

1. I should be able to add the  Bot to a Webex group space

2. Once added to the group space, the  Bot should be able to respond to queries from any member of the group. <we should post disclaimer so avoiding greeting>

3. Can we add this bot to a group space where we have external contacts?How to verify external contacts of group space?

You may add bots to a space using the Create Membership endpoint.

Responding to messages directed to the bot is basically explained in all bot tutorials such as https://developer.webex.com/blog/from-zero-to-webex-teams-chatbot-in-15-minutes. Simply create a webhook and all messages to the bot will be notified at your URL. You may then choose if you want to respond and what to respond.

You may use the List Memberships endpoint to check which users are in the space and if they're external.
