Webex Meetings integration in Mendix – any experience?

0
Hi,Has anyone integrated Webex Meetings, the Webex browser SDK, or the Webex meeting widget into a Mendix web application? I'm looking to understand what's been done and what challenges others have faced.I'm exploring options for adding Webex meeting functionality to a Mendix application and want to learn from existing implementations in the community.

Hi Joseph Horvath


Yes, we can do by using Webex Browser SDK (Most Flexible) using Javascipt snippet with content so that you can set the token. room id directly from mendix attribute[ Check out the marketplace for my own widget to run the javascript in mendix page : https://marketplace.mendix.com/link/component/251639].


<script src="https://binaries.webex.com/widgets/latest/webexsdk.min.js"></script>
<div 
  data-toggle="webex-meetings"
  data-access-token="YOUR_TOKEN"
  data-meeting-destination="YOUR_ROOM_ID">
</div>

Use this code to start the basic. I am planning to build a component so will release soon.


Now challenges will be

  1. CORS
  2. Token security
  3. Authentication
  4. Mostly work in modern browser


I hope this helps

Thanks for your suggestion. This is exactly the direction I was trying.

I implemented the approach using the Webex Browser SDK with a JavaScript snippet inside Mendix (similar to what you described), and I’m able to load the widget and pass dynamic values (token, room ID).

However, as you mentioned, the main blocker is indeed CORS.

In my case:

  • The browser blocks requests to Webex endpoints due to CORS policy
  • Since this is happening client-side, I don’t have full control to override it from Mendix


Did you manage to solve the CORS issue in your implementation?

If yes, did you handle it via:

  • Proxy (server-side token / API mediation)?
  • Specific Webex configuration?
  • Or some browser-level workaround?

Any concrete direction here would really help.
