Creating a Webex Teams chatbot doesn't require an advanced level of programming and technical ability. You can use Dialogflow to create a question and answer bot without needing to do any programming at all.

You asked, and we delivered. Persistent Guests for Webex Teams developers is here! We know you’ve been waiting for it for a long time, so thanks for your patience.

This walkthrough goes into a deep dive explanation of OAuth, what it is used for, and how to work with it. This will help when creating Webex Teams Integrations, which exclusively use OAuth for authorization.
