Webex Integration with ChallengeRunner
Easily integrate your fitness challenge into your Cisco Webex spaces
With Cisco Webex, users can effortlessly
collaborate with colleagues in a variety of ways or use an external app such as ChallengeRunner without leaving the app or switching
context. While ChallengeRunner provides all of the features needed for an effective challenge such as easy data collection
and feedback natively, other aspects, such as invitations and communications, are more difficult for a third-party app
to provide due to limitations of legacy communication tools such as email and text messages.
Webex offers a full suite of collaboration tools allowing users to communicate with one another and to simplify collaboration. When combined with ChallengeRunner,
Webex provides the ultimate compliment to make your challenge successful by eliminating application context switching
and simplifying communications.
