Google Chat¶

Google Workspace Chat webhooks provide a simple way to send messages to Google Chat rooms via HTTP requests.

For more details, refer to Build Google Chat apps as webhooks.

Prerequisites¶

• Ensure you have permission to add apps to the target chat space

Register an Incoming Webhook¶

1. Go to the chat room where you want to add the Webhook.
2. Click the "Expand" arrow next to the room title at the top.
3. Click "Apps and integrations".
4. Click "Add webhooks" (❗️ If you cannot click this button, it means your Google Workspace organization does not allow users to add or use Webhooks. For more information, see Allow users to install chat apps).
5. Name this Webhook; this name will later be displayed as the sender's name in Chat.
6. Save.
7. To copy the Webhook URL, click "More" or "Copy link". The Webhook URL contains two parameters: key (a common value shared among Webhooks) and token (a unique value that must be kept confidential to ensure the security of the Webhook) (❗️ Do not share your Webhook URL online (e.g., in a public code repository), as this compromises its security).

Configure in Guance¶

1. Return to the page for configuring Google Chat as a notification target.
2. Define the name of the current notification target in Guance.
3. Enter the Webhook address obtained in the steps above.
4. Configure operation permissions.
5. Confirm.
