Schedule Google Chat messages

Send messages to a Google Chat space on a schedule: standup prompts, reminders, and daily numbers from any API, through the space's incoming webhook.

#Example: a daily standup prompt

{
  "name": "Standup prompt",
  "cron": { "expression": "0 10 * * 1-5", "time_zone": "Asia/Kolkata" },
  "nodes": [
    { "id": "post", "google_chat_send_message": {
        "webhook_url": "https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/AAAAxyz/messages?key=KEY&token=TOKEN",
        "text": "*Standup* for {{ format(now:Asia/Kolkata, \"ddd DD MMM\") }}: what did you ship, what's next, anything blocked?" } }
  ]
}

#Set up

In Google Chat, open the space, then Apps & integrations → Webhooks → Add webhook. Copy the URL into webhook_url. It includes a key and token, so keep it private.

#Reference
