The 60,000-foot view of Webex Teams
When a user signs in to Webex Teams they create a “Team”. Team members can be anyone with an email address, from on campus or off. Examples might include all the members of a research project or the students in a particular course.
Once the “Team” is together you need to create a “Space” to work in. This is where you access the available tools, i.e. videoconferencing, messaging, file sharing and whiteboarding. Graveyard shift. The system comes with a “General Space” to start, and you may never need another. However, Webex Teams provides the ability to create as many other spaces as you want.
Using the example of a “Team” with the students in a course, each “Space” you create could be a class, this way you track each class by itself. Or you could create one “Space” for course work, one for lab’s and maybe another for special project(s).
The big take way here is that any of the tools used, less videoconferencing, are automatically tracked. So, the notes taken during a Meeting, any Whiteboards worked on, any Files Shared, or Messages sent, are embedded in the “Space” you created.
Come back 3 weeks or 3 years later, and it’s all still there.
Special note about videoconferencing, it’s not automatically tracked, but you can record any session by pressing the “Record” button.

Web developers might do this to see how their websites will appear on different systems and browsers. Sometimes, add-ons and other installations can change your user agent without your knowledge. The User-Agent request header is a characteristic string that lets servers and network peers identify the application, operating system, vendor, and/or version of the requesting user agent.

Help and the Basics
Webex Teams was originally called Cisco Spark and Cisco has not finished updating the documentation found on the following links. While the name is different, the software and its operation are the same, so be sure to take a look at anything named Spark as well.

Or, “API Basics for Powershelling Windows Admins”
My team has begun rolling out Cisco’s Webex Teams collaboration platform to our internal users. As is often the case, the IT department is the first customer, kicking the tires and exploring different use cases. I happened to be working on a Powershell-based script to create new Active Directory users, and decided to get creative …
While creating a Powershell process to automatically create new Active Directory users based on data sent via our HRIS system, I wanted a way to notify the Helpdesk team that a user had been added and they needed to do a few follow-up tasks (actions I can’t address via Powershell). I looked at having Powershell write logfiles or send e-mails. Old-fashioned.
Naturally, Webex Teams is fully API-enabled . As a non-developer, the most approachable methods I’d previously seen for addressing Teams via its API had been using Python. However, I found some clues for using Powershell in a Cisco DEVNET lesson introducing the Teams API (sign-in required).
With credit to this article, and through some modification, I got to scripting a sample:
Now to get this working, you’ll need some stuff:
Install Webex Teams Citrix
- A Bot account (who’s going to post these messages [or take any other type of action])
- Create one here: https://developer.webex.com/my-apps/
- Your Bot’s access token (you’ll get one after you create the bot account)
- Room ID (where you’re posting the message to)
- Add your new bot to the Webex Teams space you want them to post in
- Look up the RoomID: https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/v1/rooms/list-rooms
- Hit the “Try It” button, and provide the Bearer (access token) of your Bot account; you’ll see each space the Bot is a member of. Copy the “Id”
In my sample above, I’m storing the Bot’s access token in a local text file, reading it in, and storing it as a SecureString to a variable. But you can equally just put it directly in the Bearer section of the Authorization header.
Once you execute your code:
Ultimately I ended up writing this whole process above as a Powershell function and calling it as needed during my User Creation script. Setting the text to a variable, and changing the contents as needed became easy.

Seeing how easy it was to cook this up, I’m inclined to try some of the other API actions in and out of Webex Teams using Powershell … you don’t have to be a developer to get dirty with APIs!
