WSI: Pub/Sub

PortSIP PBX provides a Publish/Subscribe (Pub/Sub) mechanism over WebSocket, known as PortSIP WSI. This mechanism allows applications written in any programming language to subscribe to PBX events.

When a subscribed event occurs, PortSIP PBX automatically pushes event notifications to the client in JSON format, enabling real-time, event-driven integrations without polling.


Supported Versions

  • PortSIP PBX v16.0 or later


Service Port

PortSIP PBX (including UCaaS deployments) exposes the WSI service using secure WebSocket (WSS):

  • Port: 8887

  • Protocol: WSS (WebSocket over TLS)

  • Firewall Requirement: The server firewall must allow TCP traffic on port 8887.


Server URL

The WSI server URL depends on the PortSIP PBX version:

  • v22.0 or later

    wss://pbx.portsip.com:8887/wsi
  • v16.x

    wss://pbx.portsip.com:8885

Note: Replace pbx.portsip.com with your actual PBX domain or IP address when configuring your WebSocket client.
