Sandbox APIs Overview

The Webex Connect developer sandbox is a pre-configured environment in which you can prototype applications with channels such as SMS, voice and WhatsApp. It is designed to allow enterprise developers to try the APIs, SDKs and our advanced CPaaS capabilities such as flow builder, debugging tools and analytics.

Here's a brief overview of the APIs that are available within Webex Connect sandbox:
