Introduction
The Cisco Unity Connection Messaging Interface (CUMI) is a messaging API for Cisco Unity Connection that has been designed to be stable and simple to use. It is based on leading industry standards for web-based API development, and provides access to a wide set of Connection messaging functionality.
If you are a customer or developer who needs the ability to integrate Connection into an existing enterprise-wide portal, CUMI offers a secure method for doing the following:
- Sending messages
-
Receiving messages
-
Replying to messages
-
Sending broadcast messages (provided the user account is enabled to send broadcast messages)
-
Sending dispatch messages
-
Receiving notifications of new messages
Note |
By default, API access to playback secure messages is turned off. To enable API access to secure messages, check the Allow Access to Secure Message Recordings Through the Cisco Unity Connection Messaging Interface (CUMI) setting on the System Settings > Advanced > API Settings page in Cisco Unity Connection Administration. |
Note |
All the above functions associated with CUMI API support both the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. However, the IPv6 address works only when Connection platform is configured in Dual (IPv4/IPv6) mode. |
Note |
With Cisco Unity Connection 9.1(1), the single sign-on feature is enabled for all the Connection Rest APIs. For more information, see the "Single Sign-On in Cisco Unity Connection" chapter in Security Guide for Cisco Unity Connection 9.x https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/security/guide/9xcucsecx/9xcucsec061.html |
Beginning with Cisco Unity Connection 10.5 and later, when one or more tenants are configured on a single installation of Cisco Unity Connection, a user with Mailbox Access Delegate Account role and belonging to a particular tenant will be able to access messages of all the users within the same tenant only.
