Quick call page for Webex Devices

Simple app for Webex one tap to call (DEMO)

Web page and Macros for Webex Devices provide you interface to create a page with one click Dial.

The solution allows you to create a helpful Directory with an extensive photo/name of the contact and call it with one click.

Prerequisites

Open web interface of your Webex device

Using Webex device GUI, you need to make the following changes. First, go to Setup -> Configurations In the left menu, choose HttpClient settings and change AllowInsecureHTTPS from False to True.

OR Open terminal

ssh user@10.10.30.15

and run this

xConfiguration HttpClient Mode: On

Create Macros, copy and paste JS code from macros.js file
After deplou the app, edit this line
const URL = 'IP_OR_URL_TO_THE_PAGE_API_ENDPOINT' + '/api';

You can store your app in the same network that your Webex device or deploy it externally on Heroku

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/oborys/Quick-call-page-for-Webex-Devices.git

cd Quick-call-page-for-Webex-Devices

Paste related photos in static/images
The name should be 1.png, 2.png etc

Edit file templates/script.html if you want to add or remove the Directory photo

When the user clicks on a related photo page, call the clickEvent function and send as a parameter id (0,1,2...)

Then app send id in python function and write related SIP from the SIPLIST variable (file: app.py)

By default there you can find an SIP address that allows you to test the app.
