Google Chat message titles always appear as "Zap sent by @username" instead of the selected title


When drafting a Zap to a Google Chat Space, the “Title” only becomes part of the ‘card’ in the chat message, but does not become the title of the message itself; the message title is always, “Zap sent by @username”.

During Zap setup, a Title is formatted:

 

But when it hits Google Chat, the Message always reads, “Zap sent by @username”, which makes it 100% impossible to keep track of Threads:

 

 

Please update the Google Chat integration so that the Message is the same as the card Title. If this is possible in an upgraded Zapier pricing tier, please state that in your reply and we will upgrade.

Thank you very much!

Hi @API8RY! 👋

I just came a cross your post here and did some checking and found we have a feature request open for the ability to customise the “Zap sent by @username” text so I’ve added your vote to that. I can’t make any promises as to when it may become possible to change that “Zap sent by...” text but we’ll definitely send you an email notification once it is. There aren’t any workarounds reported at the moment but should I come across any I’ll be sure to share them with you here.

Sorry to not have a more immediate solution. If you have any further questions or if there's anything else we can help with in the meantime please do let us know!

I also would like to request this. The issue is that it tags your username which alerts you and no way to disable.

I too am having trouble without this feature.
I am especially troubled by the fact that mentions are given automatically 😭

Hi ​@HiroF,

I have added you to the feature request. We will notify you via email once the feature has been implemented.

I appreciate your patience and understanding.


Add my vote too please. I may need to move away from zapier for chat notification integration otherwise.
