## Google Chat Notifications
* **Source**: https://chat.google.com/
* **Icon Support**: No
* **Message Format**: Markdown
* **Message Limit**: 4000 Characters per message
For this to work correctly you a GSuite account (there are free trials if you don't have one). You then need to create a Webhook; they can be done as follows:
1. [Open Google Chat in your browser](https://chat.google.com/)
1. Go to the room to which you want to add a bot.
1. From the room menu at the top of the page, select **Manage webhooks**.
1. Provide it a name and optional avatar and click **SAVE**
1. Copy the URL associated with your new webhook.
1. Click outside the dialog box to close.
When you've completed, you'll get a URL that looks a little like this:
```
https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/AAAAkM/messages?key=AIzaSSjMm-WEfqKqqsHI&token=O7bnyri_WEXKcyFk%3D
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | | | | |
workspace ... webhook_key... ..webhook_token..
```
Simplified, it looks like this:
- `https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/WORKSPACE/messages?key=WEBHOOK_KEY&token=WEBHOOK_TOKEN`
Now it's important to note that while this Apprise plugin uses `gchat://`, you can also just use this URL exactly the way it was provided to you from Google when you copied and pasted. This is a perfectly valid Google Chat Apprise URL as well.
### Syntax
Valid syntax is as follows:
- `https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/{workspace}/messages?key={webhook_key}&token={webhook_token}`
- `gchat://{workspace}/{webhook_key}/{webhook_token}`
### Parameter Breakdown
| Variable | Required | Description
| ----------- | -------- | -----------
| workspace | Yes | The workspace associated with your Google Chat account.
| webhook_key | Yes | The webhook key associated with your Google Chat account.
| webhook_token | Yes | The webhook token associated with your Google Chat account.
#### Example
Send a Google Chat notification
```bash
# Assuming our {workspace} is AAAAkM
# Assuming our {webhook_key} is AIzaSSjMm-WEfqKqqsHI
# Assuming our {webhook_token} is O7bnyri_WEXKcyFk%3D
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
gchat://AAAAkM/AIzaSSjMm-WEfqKqqsHI/O7bnyri_WEXKcyFk%3D
```
Remember, you can also just use the URL as it was provided to you when configuring your Webhook:
Send a Google Chat notification
```bash
# Assuming our {workspace} is AAAAkM
# Assuming our {webhook_key} is AIzaSSjMm-WEfqKqqsHI
# Assuming our {webhook_token} is O7bnyri_WEXKcyFk%3D
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/AAAAkM/messages?key=AIzaSSjMm-WEfqKqqsHI&token=O7bnyri_WEXKcyFk%3D
