Add Webex Channel

Adds Cisco Webex support via the Chat SDK bridge.

Install

NanoClaw doesn't ship channels in trunk. This skill copies the Webex adapter in from the channels branch.

Pre-flight (idempotent)

Skip to Credentials if all of these are already in place:

• src/channels/webex.ts exists
• src/channels/webex-registration.test.ts exists
• src/channels/index.ts contains import './webex.js';
• @bitbasti/chat-adapter-webex is listed in package.json dependencies

Otherwise continue. Every step below is safe to re-run.

1. Fetch the channels branch

git fetch origin channels

2. Copy the adapter and its registration test

git show origin/channels:src/channels/webex.ts                 > src/channels/webex.ts
git show origin/channels:src/channels/webex-registration.test.ts > src/channels/webex-registration.test.ts

3. Append the self-registration import

Append to src/channels/index.ts (skip if the line is already present):

import './webex.js';

4. Install the adapter package (pinned)

pnpm install @bitbasti/[email protected]

5. Build and validate

pnpm run build
pnpm exec vitest run src/channels/webex-registration.test.ts

Both must be clean before proceeding. webex-registration.test.ts is the one integration test: it imports the real channel barrel and asserts the registry contains webex. It goes red if the import './webex.js'; line is deleted or drifts, if the barrel fails to evaluate, or if @bitbasti/chat-adapter-webex isn't installed (the import throws) — so it also implicitly verifies the dependency from step 4. The adapter also calls core's createChatSdkBridge(...); that typed core-API consumption is guarded by pnpm run build.

End-to-end message delivery against a real Webex space is verified manually once the service is running — see Next Steps and the webhook setup above.

Credentials

1. Go to developer.webex.com and create a new bot
2. Copy the Bot Access Token
3. Set up a webhook:

• Use the Webex API or Developer Portal to create a webhook pointing to https://your-domain/webhook/webex
• Set a webhook secret for signature verification

Configure environment

Add to .env:

WEBEX_BOT_TOKEN=your-bot-token
WEBEX_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your-webhook-secret

Sync to container: mkdir -p data/env && cp .env data/env/env

Next Steps

If you're in the middle of /setup, return to the setup flow now.

Otherwise, run /manage-channels to wire this channel to an agent group.

Channel Info

• type: webex
• terminology: Webex has "spaces." A space can be a group conversation or a 1:1 direct message with the bot.
• how-to-find-id: Open the space in Webex, click the space name > Settings — the Space ID is listed there. Or use the Webex API (GET /rooms) to list spaces and their IDs.
• supports-threads: yes
• typical-use: Interactive chat — team spaces or direct messages
• default-isolation: Same agent group for spaces where you're the primary user. Separate agent group for spaces with different teams or sensitive information.
