Google Chat

Create an incoming webhook on a Google Chat space and connect it to TestKase notifications.

Before you start

Google Chat webhooks need two things that personal Gmail accounts don't have:

  • a Google Workspace account (a company account managed in an admin console), and
  • a space — webhooks belong to spaces, not to direct messages.

If you see "Webhook management is restricted", your Workspace admin has turned webhooks off. It's enabled in the Admin console under Apps → Google Workspace → Google Chat → Chat apps and integrations → Allow users to manage incoming webhooks. On a personal @gmail.com account there is nothing to enable — use Slack, Discord or a custom webhook instead.

Get the webhook URL from Google Chat

  1. In Google Chat, next to Spaces click + → Create a space. Name it (for example QA alerts) and create it. Skip this if the space already exists.
  2. Open the space, click its name at the top, and choose Apps & integrations (on some accounts: the ▾ next to the name → Manage webhooks).
  3. Under Webhooks, click Add webhook. Name it TestKase; the avatar URL is optional. Save.
  4. Copy the URL. It starts with https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/.

Connect it in TestKase

  1. Open Organization → Integrations → Notifications and click Connect on the Google Chat card.
  2. Enter a name, paste the webhook URL, choose the events, and save.

Test it

Start and end a Live session. The space receives a Live session ended card with the device, duration and reason.

Troubleshooting

▶No Apps & integrations / Manage webhooks entry

Personal Google account, or webhooks disabled by the admin.

Fix: Use a Workspace account; ask the admin to enable incoming webhooks.

▶"Webhook management is restricted"

Admin policy.

Fix: See the note above.

▶Cards arrive but times look wrong

Google Chat shows the UTC time from the card.

Fix: Slack shows your local time; other platforms show UTC.
