Webex: app approval and security

This article covers the Webex admin approval process for Calendly and details Calendly’s security practices for the Webex integration.

You can share this article with your Webex admin, so they have the necessary security information to understand the integration.

Connecting Webex requires Calendly app approval

Issue
When you attempt to connect to Webex, you receive an Access denied message and cannot continue.

Solution
You’ll need to reach out to your IT admin or Webex admin, who can update your integrations access within Webex. To find your Webex admin, view Contact your Webex site administrator.

Your Webex admin can follow the steps in Configure User Access to Integrations in Cisco Webex Control Hub to either approve Global Access to all apps, or approve access to only Calendly, which requires Webex's Pro Pack.

What Webex data does Calendly store?

Calendly stores the following Webex data:

  • Webex meeting details, which are created as Calendly meetings are scheduled. These details are stored as the meeting location in Calendly.
  • Webex user details, so Calendly can associate the correct Webex user with the correct Calendly user.
  • Access and refresh tokens. Calendly encrypts access and refresh tokens. Calendly stores tokens to automatically run refresh logic, to keep your Webex connection healthy.

Calendly does not look at or store your Webex recordings.
