Importing Message Data to Google Chat from External Service

[Jeffrey Wickersty]

Hey all,

I had a user show me this Google documentation page:

https://support.google.com/a/answer/13465849?sjid=664701864827294172-NA

It talks about using the Google Chat API, specifically https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.import, to import chat data from another external service (for example, Slack data) into our organization in a  Google Chat Space.

I know GAM has some Chat capabilities via the Chat Bot and some Chat APIs, but I have found nothing in the documentation that speaks to using the Google Chat API to import data.

Does anyone have any experience or awareness of doing something like this?

Thanks

Is 

https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3/wiki/Users-Chat perhaps the wiki page you’re looking for? 

https://www.cloudfuze.com/slack-to-google-chat-migration/ might also be of interest.

Hope that helps,

Ian

GAM is an admin management tool for Google Workspace. It is NOT a migration tool. It can call Chat APIs but it does not call Slack APIs or know anything about Slack message format in order to a migration like this 

You are looking for migration tools

I know Jay, Im not looking to use GAM to interact with Slack - I'm wondering about any GAM ability to import data into Google Chat. Assuming I have like local JSON data or similar, and wanted to import that into Google Chat.

[Jay Lee]

There's still a good deal more to this. You should do a comprehensive search for migration tools to do this right rather than trying to get it working with GAM.

Having said all that:

- there is a way to create chat spaces in "migrate mode" https://developers.google.com/workspace/chat/import-data-overview

- To date, GAM has not added support for creating spaces in importMode.

- messages would then need to be created by GAM with fields like createTime set. To date that does not exist either.

So no, GAM really does not support Chat migrations at all. You can file a feature request to add GAM support for these basic Chat migrate API calls:

Thanks for the reply. This was the part I was most wondering about:

To date, GAM has not added support for creating spaces in importMode

Thanks again for a great tool
