Installation

Follow the installation guide in the n8n community nodes documentation.

Use the pacakge name to install:

@chez14org/n8n-nodes-google-chat-webhook

Operations

The node has a single action: Send a message. It maps directly onto the top-level fields of the Google Chat spaces.messages.create API:

  • Text — the plain-text body of the message (always visible).
  • Options (collapsed by default):
    • Accessory Widgets — interactive widgets shown at the bottom of the message. Raw JSON, see the Cards reference.
    • Cards — rich, formatted cards (cardsV2). Raw JSON — design and preview cards with the Card Builder, then check the shape against the Cards reference.
    • Fallback Text — plain-text shown when the message's cards can't be rendered (e.g. mobile notifications).
    • Message ID — a custom ID to name the message.
    • Reply Option — whether the message starts a new thread or replies to an existing one.
    • Request ID — a client-generated ID so retries don't create duplicate messages.
    • Thread — identify the thread this message belongs to, either by thread key or by thread resource name.

Credentials

This node authenticates using a Google Chat space's incoming webhook URL — no OAuth or service account needed.

  1. In Google Chat, open the space you want to post to.
  2. Go to the space's Apps & integrations menu and choose Webhooks.
  3. Create a new webhook and copy its URL (it already includes the space's key and token query parameters).
  4. In n8n, create a Google Chat Webhook API credential and paste the URL into the Webhook URL field.

See the Webhooks quickstart for the full walkthrough. There's no built-in credential test, since the only way to validate the URL is to actually post a message to the space — run the node once to confirm it works.

Compatibility

Requires n8n's n8nNodesApiVersion 1. Tested against a recent n8n version; no known incompatibilities.

Usage

  • The Cards and Accessory Widgets fields take raw JSON matching the Cards reference schema — build them visually first with the Card Builder, then paste the resulting JSON in.
  • New to n8n? See the Try it out documentation to get started.
