Representative actions
- Create Custom Emoji
Creates a custom emoji in Google Chat for use within an organization. Use this action when you need to add a custom emoji that can be used by members of your Google Workspace organization. The emoji will be available in Google Chat after creation. Note: Custom emojis are only available for Google Workspace accounts and require the administrator to enable custom emojis for the organization. This is a Developer Preview feature.
- Create Message
Creates a message in a Google Chat space. With user authentication, only text messages are supported. Maximum message size is 32,000 bytes. Use this action when you need to send a message to a Google Chat space or channel. You can reply to existing threads by providing a thread_key, or start a new conversation. Messages can mention users using '@username' syntax. Note: With user auth, only plain text messages are supported. Card-based messages require bot authentication.
- Create Reaction
Creates an emoji reaction on a Google Chat message. Use this action when you need to add an emoji reaction (like 👍, ❤️, or 🎉) to an existing message in a Google Chat space. Either emoji_unicode or emoji_custom_id is required, but not both. This action is useful for acknowledging messages, voting on ideas, expressing emotions in response to messages, or building interactive message features in Google Chat bots.
- Create section
Creates a custom section in Google Chat for organizing conversations in the navigation panel. Use when you need to create a new custom section to organize spaces and direct messages in the user's Chat sidebar.
- Create Space
Creates a named space or group chat in Google Chat. The calling user is automatically added as a member and space manager. Use this action when you need to create a new Google Chat space for team collaboration, project discussions, or group conversations. This action creates a named space that users can discover and join. Note: If you receive the error ALREADY_EXISTS when creating a space, try a different displayName. The displayName must be unique within the organization.
