Hello,
I am looking to create a "support chat" where my team mans the chat. Users outside my team should be able to type in our team name i.e. "support chat", and create a direct message with the "support chat" team. The person reaching out should not see messages from other users who have reached out to the "support chat". Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
It would mimic the "direct message" of user to user, but instead it would be my team on one chat answering one users potential question.
Would really appreciate any insights!
Solved! Go to Solution.

You will need to think of this workflow differently in Teams
1) Create a Team for support. Webex Teams doesn't natively support public Teams that can anyone can find so folks have written bots to publish that Team space to a web site. Folks join the appropriate spaces and basically ask questions. Team members would then need to create a 1:1 space with that user if they want to continue support
2) Cisco had a bot called spark care bot which was exactly what you are asking for. i.e. ask a question and it would send the message to a set of users and when the expert would say I can help to the bot it would move that convo to a private space. So as the user above suggested it does need to develop a bot. Cisco stopped spark care so don't think this is available anymore

Unfortunately without a bot there isn't a native way to accomplish this

Hi
Not clear what research of developer experience you have.
First you need to start here https://developer.webex.com/docs/bots
A repository for samples is here https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/awesome-webex#client-sdks
What I am not sure about is whether you can respond as a hidden user. If you create an account you will be also be able to open a case for further development questions.
Thanks
