anchorPrerequisites

Before continuing, you will need access to a few developer resources and the Node.js framework:

• Wrike Account: You'll need to apply for an account in: https://www.wrike.com/.
• Cisco Webex Account: You'll need a Webex developer account if you don't have one already. You can create one on the Webex Developer Portal: https://developer.webex.com/.
• Node.js: To create the Webex bot, you'll be leveraging the Webex Node Bot framework. Make sure you've got Node.js installed on your platform of choice.

anchorBuild the Bot

Once you have your accounts set up and Node.js installed, follow these steps to create your own Wrike bot:

1. Once logged in to Wrike, navigate to the Apps and Integrations section.
2. Inside Apps and Integrations, go to the API tab.
3. Click on Create new.
4. You'll be asked to provide some basic details for your app. This includes:
   • App Name: The name of your application.
   • App Description: A short description of your app.
   • Redirect URI(s): This is critical. The user is directed to this URI after authorizing within your app. You must specify it upfront, as part of the OAuth flow.
5. A Client ID and Client secret are created. Make sure you make a note of them.
6. Log in to Webex for Developers.
7. Create your Webex bot at: https://developer.webex.com/my-apps/new/bot.
8. Note down the bot's access token, which you'll use to make API requests.

anchorUse the Webex Node Bot Framework

To simplify the creation of your bot, you can use the Webex Node Bot Framework available on GitHub. This framework provides a robust and easy to use platform for handling bot interactions:
