Cisco Webex: Post to Space (Room) GitHub Action
Note: please test this well before using in production, this is a sample action!
This GitHub Action posts a message to a Webex Room using the Webex API and a NodeJS GitHub Action.
Usage
- Set the Webex Room ID (
WEBEX_ROOM_ID
) and Webex Access Token (WEBEX_TOKEN
) as repository secrets in the repository that you want to run the action in. It is recommended to use a Webex Bot to create an Access Token. Please find more information regarding Webex Bots in the Webex developer documentation.
Note: make sure that the Webex Bot is added to that space, otherwise this will fail.

- Create a file called
webex_post_message.yml
with the following content in the .github/workflows
directory of your repository from where you want to run the action:
name: Post Message to Webex Room JS Action
on:
push:
# Allows you to run this workflow manually from the Actions tab
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
webex_message:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: Send a Webex Notification
steps:
- name: Post Message to Webex Room
uses: chrivand/action-webex-js@main
env:
WEBEX_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.WEBEX_TOKEN }}
WEBEX_ROOM_ID: ${{ secrets.WEBEX_ROOM_ID }}
MARKDOWN_MESSAGE: "**Hello, world! You just ran an action from ${{ github.repository }}.**"
- Adjust the
yml
file as needed, especially the MARKDOWN_MESSAGE
environment variable. You can for example trigger a Webex notification based on certain output of other actions that you have run before. Please check the GitHub documentation for all context that you can use.
