Hi all,

Using Gam Advanced, and trying to export the total number of chat messages sent in the last 6 months for a group of users. Trying the following, and making changes but can't seem to get it working:

gam report usage user select group group...@domain.com parameters chat:num_messages_sent,chat:num_reactions_added,chat:num_threads_read range -183d -1d todrive

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks Ross!

I believe it was from a thread I found but can't seem to find it anymore, I just tried the following but it doesn't seem to accept "Chat:..." as a valid parameter:

gam report usage user select group em...@domain.com parameters chat:num_28day_conversations_read,chat:num_28day_messages_and_reactions_sent range -183d -1d todrive

"ERROR: Invalid choice (chat): Expected <accounts|classroom|docs|drive|gmail|gplus>"

I think " gam report usage user select group " may be the issue now, do you know if there's another report command to use for this?

Thanks for your help.

Send me a private Meet/Zoom invitation and we'll investigate.
