Sending a message to a chat

[Santiago García]

Hello everyone,

I'm pretty new using Apps Script

I have a work to do. I need to send a chat message from my account to another one using Apps Script. 

I know I can send an email using MailApp.sendEmail , but I need to send a chat, theres a way to do this?

Thanks

I’m not an expert myself, but it looks like https://developers.google.com/chat/api/guides/crudl/messages only includes Python examples at this point, so maybe the answer is “not yet” in terms of Apps Script? (I suppose you could interact with the Chat API as an “External API” but that’d probably be a lot of work.)

Hope that helps, at least a little,

Ian

Yes, it's possible to send chat messages using Apps Script. Google provides a Chat API that you can use to send messages to specific rooms or direct messages.

Here's a basic example:

function sendChatMessage() {
  var message = {
    text: "Hello, this is a test message."
  };

  var space = "SPACE_ID"; // Replace with the ID of the room or user you want to send the message to.

  var response = ChatApp.newMessage()
    .addUser(space)
    .text(message.text)
    .send();
}

In this example, we create a message object containing the text of the message we want to send. We then specify the space (room or user) we want to send the message to.

Finally, we create a new message using ChatApp.newMessage() and add the space and text properties. We call the send() method to actually send the message.

Note that in order to use the Chat API, you'll need to enable the "Hangouts Chat API" in your Google Cloud Platform project and set up authentication. You can find more information on how to do this in the Google Chat API documentation.
