Google Chat Integration — ZopNight Alerts in Your Spaces
What does the Google Chat integration do?
Google Workspace teams route ZopNight alerts to a Chat space with 1 incoming webhook. Cards arrive with structured facts, severity and deep links, and each space chooses which events it receives through the same per-channel subscription matrix the other channels use.
Google Workspace teams can route every ZopNight alert to a Chat space with a single incoming webhook. Cards arrive with structured facts, severity and deep links, and each space chooses exactly which events it wants through the per-channel subscription matrix.
Card messages posted to a space-level webhook
ZopNight posts card messages to a space-level incoming webhook (chat.googleapis.com). After saving, use Test Notification to confirm the webhook works, and each channel has its own event subscriptions with org-wide or scoped delivery.
Copy the space webhook URL, paste, send a test
- In Google Chat, open the space, click its name > Apps & integrations.
- Click Add webhooks, name it (e.g. ZopNight), and copy the URL.
- In ZopNight: Settings > Notifications > Add Channel > Google Chat; paste the URL and send a test notification.
Every event family, cards with facts and deep links
All ZopNight event families with per-event, per-scope subscriptions. Card rendering with facts and deep links. Recommendation sharing.
Space-level, and what that implies
The webhook belongs to a space, not to a person, so alerts survive whoever created it leaving. Anyone in the space sees everything routed to it, with no per-user filtering, which makes the choice of space a decision about audience rather than convenience.
Send a test before you rely on it
Saving the channel and sending a test are separate steps. Click Test Notification after you save, so a URL pasted with a missing character fails immediately rather than silently swallowing alerts until someone notices they stopped arriving.
Limits worth knowing before you connect
Action buttons render as text on Google Chat (interactive callbacks are Slack and custom-webhook features).
Google Chat integration: common questions
Where do I find the Google Chat webhook URL?
Open the space, click its name, choose Apps & integrations, then Add webhooks. Name it and copy the URL into Settings, Notifications, Add Channel, Google Chat.
Can I filter which people in the space see an alert?
No. The webhook belongs to the space rather than to a person, so everyone in it sees everything routed there. That makes the choice of space a decision about audience, and it also means alerts survive whoever created the webhook leaving.
Do the action buttons work in Google Chat?
No, they render as text. Interactive callbacks are Slack and custom-webhook features. On Chat you read the card's facts and follow its deep link instead.
