Set up instructions

Prerequisites:

  • Your Sana workspace admin has enabled this integration – if the workspace admin has disabled the integration it won't appear in the list of available integrations.

Step 1: Go to the integrations page in Sana

In Sana, click on ... More in the sidebar, then select Integrations

Step 2: Find Webex in the list of available integrations

Scroll to the Available integrations section and locate Webex.

Step 3: Connect the integration

Click the integration card and select "Connect just for me", this will open a pop-up powered by Pipedream. Follow the steps in the pop-up to complete the set-up.

Step 4: Sign in to Webex and approve the requested scopes

You'll be redirected to Webex to go through their OAuth flow. Sign in and approve the scopes Sana needs to operate the connector.

Step 5: Complete the set up

You've successfully connected your Webex account. Click Continue to complete the setup and start using the connector.

Known limitations

  • Sender attribution: Messages sent through the connector appear as "Pipedream" rather than the signed-in user. The signed-in user is referenced in the message metadata, but it won't look like a normal user sent it.
