Hi!

Is it possible to embed Google Maps to a Workspace Add-on? Like this

I can't find anything about this.

Hi Alex,

So I'm guessing the problem you are encountering is no iframe support in CardService? In Google Chat, which has a similar Card Service, the solution presented is a static image and button https://developers.google.com/chat/api/guides/message-formats/cards

Here is some modified whereis bot code I wrote for a talk which generates a map and marker as an image in apps script (this stores/servers the image in Google Drive) https://script.google.com/home/projects/126aKgvDPAdd58vW0xe4TlVRASCFK36YxfpenjBlYGuZHvLhVTiqE5gE6/edit

Some questions for you to solve if planning to put this into production, but hopefully gives you an idea of how to approach

Best

Martin

Hi Martin!

Thank you so much!

I was looking for something interactive.
I agree that static maps can be used if conditions allow it.
