200-901 Cisco Platforms and Development Practice Question
A developer is building a chatbot that needs to send a direct message to a user on Webex. Which TWO fields are required in the POST /v1/messages request? (Choose TWO.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
toPersonId
To send a direct message via the Webex API, you must provide exactly one recipient identifier (either toPersonId or toPersonEmail) and exactly one message content field (either markdown or text). Therefore, the two required fields are a recipient field and a content field. Option B (toPersonId) and Option C (markdown) form such a pair. Option D (toPersonEmail) is a valid recipient but is not required if toPersonId is used; it is not needed as a second field since only one recipient is needed.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
roomId
Why it's wrong here
roomId is for sending to a room, not a direct message.
- ✓
toPersonId
Why this is correct
Correct. toPersonId uniquely identifies the recipient and is one of the two required fields (the other being a content field).
- ✓
markdown
Why this is correct
Correct. markdown provides the message content and is one of the two required fields (the other being a recipient field).
- ✗
toPersonEmail
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. While toPersonEmail can serve as the recipient identifier, it is not required if toPersonId is used. The question asks for the two fields that are required; only one recipient field is necessary.
- ✗
files
Why it's wrong here
