Google Chat Receipe

• Official Website: https://chat.google.com/
• Icon Support: No
• Message Format: Markdown
• Message Limit: 4000 Characters per message

For this to work correctly you a GSuite account (there are free trials if you don't have one). You then need to create a Webhook; they can be done as follows:

1. Open Google Chat in your browser
2. Go to the room to which you want to add a bot.
3. From the room menu at the top of the page, select Manage webhooks.
4. Provide it a name and optional avatar and click SAVE
5. Copy the URL associated with your new webhook.
6. Click outside the dialog box to close.

When you've completed, you'll get a URL that looks a little like this:

https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/AAAAkM/messages?key=AIzaSSjMm-WEfqKqqsHI&token=O7bnyri_WEXKcyFk%3D
                                      ^    ^              ^                  ^       ^                 ^
                                      |    |              |                  |       |                 |
                                     workspace             ... webhook_key...         ..webhook_token..

Simplified, it looks like this:

• https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/WORKSPACE/messages?key=WEBHOOK_KEY&token=WEBHOOK_TOKEN

Now it's important to note that while this Magic Receipe plugin uses gchat://, you can also just use this URL exactly the way it was provided to you from Google when you copied and pasted. This is a perfectly valid Google Chat Magic Receipe URL as well.
