Webex
Webex is a collaboration app for messaging, meetings, and calling. Protocol Launcher allows you to generate Webex URL scheme links.
Usage
There are two ways to use this library:
- On-Demand import from subpaths enables tree-shaking and keeps bundles small.
- Full Import from the root package is convenient but includes all app modules.
Pick On-Demand for production builds; Full Import is fine for quick scripts or demos.

Notes
Webex documents webexteams://im?email=... for creating or opening a one-person space and webexteams://im?space=... for opening an existing space. A Webex developer blog documents webexteams://meet?sip=... and webextel: click-to-call examples. Webex's cross-launch documentation documents webextel://login?..., webexauth://login?..., webexauth://logout, and https://cisco.webex.com/logout?... with the parameters shown below.
Webex also lists CLICKTOCALL:, SIP:, TEL: (not on iOS), and WEBEXTEL: as protocol handlers that can start calls when Webex App is the default calling application. This module only adds helpers for complete URL formats that Webex documents with concrete parameters or examples.
Open Chat
Create or open a Webex chat/space with one person by email address.
import { openChat } from 'protocol-launcher/webex'
const url = openChat({
email: 'barbara@example.com',
})Open Space
Open an existing Webex space by space ID.
import { openSpace } from 'protocol-launcher/webex'
const url = openSpace({
space: '0000aa-a0a0',
})Meet by SIP
Place a Webex App meeting/call to a SIP address using webexteams://meet?sip=.... This may launch a call, so the docs show the generated URL without a live preview link.
import { meet } from 'protocol-launcher/webex'
const url = meet({
sip: 'user@example.com',
})Webex Click-to-Call
Place a URI based call with the Webex App using the webextel: protocol handler.
import { call } from 'protocol-launcher/webex'
const url = call({
destination: '+1234567890',
})Cross-Launch Call
Cross launch Webex App to make a call with the documented webextel://login URL.
import { crossLaunchCall } from 'protocol-launcher/webex'
const url = crossLaunchCall({
telephone: '123456789',
xSource: 'App B',
xSuccess: 'appb://success_flow',
xCancel: 'appb://cancel_flow',
})Cross-Launch Sign-In
Cross launch Webex App to sign in with an email address using the documented webexauth://login URL. Webex documents telephone, x-source, x-success, and x-cancel as iOS-only parameters.
import { crossLaunchSignIn } from 'protocol-launcher/webex'
const url = crossLaunchSignIn({
email: 'user1@example.com',
telephone: '123456789',
xSource: 'App B',
xSuccess: 'appb://success_flow',
xCancel: 'appb://cancel_flow',
})Logout
Log out of Webex App using the documented webexauth://logout URL.
import { logout } from 'protocol-launcher/webex'
const url = logout()Universal Link Logout
Log out of Webex App on managed iOS/iPadOS devices with the documented Universal Link Callback URL.
import { universalLinkLogout } from 'protocol-launcher/webex'
const url = universalLinkLogout({
ulcSuccess: 'https://sampledomain.com/success',
ulcError: 'https://sampledomain.com/error',
})
