How do I get the message from the Google Workspace Chat Group Space?

We have a group chat space where corporate operations staffs post. 

Then customer support want to get the post from the Google Workspace in a timely manner through Zapier.  Do you have any idea?

Hi ​@Nobuyuki Abe, unfortunately, Google Chat’s Zapier integration is very limited, and basically only supports sending alerts from other apps to a Google Chat. There’s no way to extract messages or other data from Google Chat and send it to other apps.  This isn’t a limitation on Zapier’s part; it’s because Google Chat’s API is itself very limited.


Hi Nobuyuki,

Zapier doesn't currently support Google Chat directly, so you can't pull messages from a Google Chat Space into Zapier out of the box.

One workaround is to use Google Apps Script to monitor the chat space and send new messages to a Zapier webhook URL. This requires some coding.

Another option is to check if chat notifications can be sent by email, then use Gmail in Zapier to trigger when a new message arrives.

Right now, there's no native or easy way without a bit of manual setup or scripting.
