Set Up Cisco Webex

This chapter provides information on how to integrate Cisco Webex with Cisco Spaces.

Integrate Cisco Webex

The integration of Cisco Webex with Cisco Spaces enables Cisco Webex devices in the Webex Control Hub account to perform a cloud-to-cloud integration between Webex Control Hub and Cisco Spaces.


Note

Cisco Webex integration supports only Cisco Smart Workspaces users.

This integration supports:

  • Synchronization of Cisco Webex entities such as Cisco Webex workspaces, devices, workspace locations, and floor details from the Webex Control Hub. The synchronization process is scheduled at the backend every three hours after the token is configured in the Cisco Spaces dashboard. Choose Setup > Webex to configure the tokens.

  • Cisco Webex devices to send device data such as temperature, air quality, occupancy, and so on, which is then used in Cisco Smart Workspaces.

As part of Cisco Webex integration, Cisco Spaces supports integration with persistent web app for Cisco Webex navigators. When a customer activates the control hub integration with Cisco Spaces, the necessary configuration supporting this integration is updated in the Cisco Webex control hub.


Note

Currently, this integration is only available for Cisco Smart Workspaces users.
