4. Configure Chat app with webhook URL

4. Configure Chat app with webhook URL


**Webhook URL**: `https://your-worker.workers.dev/webhook`

**Why this matters:**
- Simplest way to send messages to Chat
- No authentication required for incoming webhooks
- Perfect for notifications from external systems
- Limited to sending messages (no interactive responses)

**Webhook URL**:`https://your-worker.workers.dev/webhook`

**为什么这很重要**:
- 向Chat发送消息的最简方式
- 传入webhook无需身份验证
- 非常适合来自外部系统的通知
- 仅支持发送消息(无交互式响应)

2. Create Interactive Bot (Cloudflare Worker)

2. 创建交互式机器人(Cloudflare Worker)

typescript
export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    const event = await request.json()

    // Respond with a card
    return Response.json({
      text: "Hello from bot!",
      cardsV2: [{
        cardId: "unique-card-1",
        card: {
          header: { title: "Welcome" },
          sections: [{
            widgets: [{
              textParagraph: { text: "Click the button below" }
            }, {
              buttonList: {
                buttons: [{
                  text: "Click me",
                  onClick: {
                    action: {
                      function: "handleClick",
                      parameters: [{ key: "data", value: "test" }]
                    }
                  }
                }]
              }
            }]
          }]
        }
      }]
    })
  }
}
CRITICAL:
  • Must respond within timeout (typically 30 seconds)
  • Always return valid JSON with
    cardsV2
    array
  • Card schema must be exact - one wrong field breaks the whole card
typescript
export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    const event = await request.json()

    // Respond with a card
    return Response.json({
      text: "Hello from bot!",
      cardsV2: [{
        cardId: "unique-card-1",
        card: {
          header: { title: "Welcome" },
          sections: [{
            widgets: [{
              textParagraph: { text: "Click the button below" }
            }, {
              buttonList: {
                buttons: [{
                  text: "Click me",
                  onClick: {
                    action: {
                      function: "handleClick",
                      parameters: [{ key: "data", value: "test" }]
                    }
                  }
                }]
              }
            }]
          }]
        }
      }]
    })
  }
}
重要提示
  • 必须在超时时间内响应(通常为30秒)
  • 始终返回包含
    cardsV2
    数组的有效JSON
  • 卡片架构必须完全匹配 - 一个错误字段会导致整个卡片失效

3. Verify Bearer Tokens (Production Security)

3. 验证Bearer令牌(生产环境安全)

typescript
async function verifyToken(token: string): Promise<boolean> {
  // Verify token is signed by chat@system.gserviceaccount.com
  // See templates/bearer-token-verify.ts for full implementation
  return true
}
Why this matters:
  • Prevents unauthorized access to your bot
  • Required for HTTP endpoints (not webhooks)
  • Uses Web Crypto API (Cloudflare Workers compatible)

typescript
async function verifyToken(token: string): Promise<boolean> {
  // Verify token is signed by chat@system.gserviceaccount.com
  // See templates/bearer-token-verify.ts for full implementation
  return true
}
为什么这很重要
  • 防止对机器人的未授权访问
  • HTTP端点(非webhook)必须验证
  • 使用Web Crypto API(兼容Cloudflare Workers)

The 3-Step Setup Process

三步设置流程

Step 1: Choose Integration Type

步骤1:选择集成类型

Option A: Incoming Webhook (Notifications Only)
Best for:
  • CI/CD notifications
  • Alert systems
  • One-way communication
  • External service → Chat
Setup:
  1. Create Chat space
  2. Configure incoming webhook in Space settings
  3. POST JSON to webhook URL
No code required - just HTTP POST:
bash
curl -X POST 'https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/.../messages?key=...' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"text": "Hello from webhook!"}'
Option B: HTTP Endpoint Bot (Interactive)
Best for:
  • Interactive forms
  • Button-based workflows
  • User input collection
  • Chat → Your service → Chat
Setup:
  1. Create Google Cloud project
  2. Enable Chat API
  3. Configure Chat app with HTTP endpoint
  4. Deploy Cloudflare Worker
  5. Handle events and respond with cards
Requires code - see
templates/interactive-bot.ts
选项A:传入Webhook(仅通知)
最适合:
  • CI/CD通知
  • 告警系统
  • 单向通信
  • 外部系统 → Chat
设置步骤
  1. 创建Chat空间
  2. 在空间设置中配置传入webhook
  3. 向webhook URL发送POST请求(JSON格式)
无需编写代码 - 只需发送HTTP POST请求:
bash
curl -X POST 'https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/.../messages?key=...' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"text": "Hello from webhook!"}'
选项B:HTTP端点机器人(交互式)
最适合:
  • 交互式表单
  • 基于按钮的工作流
  • 用户输入收集
  • Chat → 你的服务 → Chat
设置步骤
  1. 创建Google Cloud项目
  2. 启用Chat API
  3. 配置Chat应用的HTTP端点
  4. 部署Cloudflare Worker
  5. 处理事件并返回卡片响应
需要编写代码 - 参考
templates/interactive-bot.ts

Step 2: Design Cards (If Using Interactive Bot)

步骤2:设计卡片(如果使用交互式机器人)

IMPORTANT: Use Cards v2 only. Cards v1 was deprecated in 2025. Cards v2 matches Material Design on web (faster rendering, better aesthetics).
Cards v2 structure:
json
{
  "cardsV2": [{
    "cardId": "unique-id",
    "card": {
      "header": {
        "title": "Card Title",
        "subtitle": "Optional subtitle",
        "imageUrl": "https://..."
      },
      "sections": [{
        "header": "Section 1",
        "widgets": [
          { "textParagraph": { "text": "Some text" } },
          { "buttonList": { "buttons": [...] } }
        ]
      }]
    }
  }]
}
Widget Types:
  • textParagraph
    - Text content
  • buttonList
    - Buttons (text or icon)
  • textInput
    - Text input field
  • selectionInput
    - Dropdowns, checkboxes, switches
  • dateTimePicker
    - Date/time selection
  • divider
    - Horizontal line
  • image
    - Images
  • decoratedText
    - Text with icon/button
Text Formatting (NEW: Sept 2025 - GA):
Cards v2 supports both HTML and Markdown formatting:
typescript
// HTML formatting (traditional)
{
  textParagraph: {
    text: "This is <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i> text with <font color='#ea9999'>color</font>"
  }
}

// Markdown formatting (NEW - better for AI agents)
{
  textParagraph: {
    text: "This is **bold** and *italic* text\n\n- Bullet list\n- Second item\n\n```\ncode block\n```"
  }
}
Supported Markdown (text messages and cards):
  • **bold**
    or
    *italic*
  • `code`
    for inline code
  • - list item
    or
    1. ordered
    for lists
  • ```code block```
    for multi-line code
  • ~strikethrough~
Supported HTML (cards only):
  • <b>bold</b>
    ,
    <i>italic</i>
    ,
    <u>underline</u>
  • <font color="#FF0000">colored</font>
  • <a href="url">link</a>
Why Markdown matters: LLMs naturally output Markdown. Before Sept 2025, you had to convert Markdown→HTML. Now you can pass Markdown directly to Chat.
CRITICAL:
  • Max 100 widgets per card - silently truncated if exceeded
  • Widget order matters - displayed top to bottom
  • cardId must be unique - use timestamp or UUID
重要提示:仅使用Cards v2。Cards v1已于2025年弃用。Cards v2与网页端Material Design匹配(渲染更快、外观更优)。
Cards v2结构:
json
{
  "cardsV2": [{
    "cardId": "unique-id",
    "card": {
      "header": {
        "title": "Card Title",
        "subtitle": "Optional subtitle",
        "imageUrl": "https://..."
      },
      "sections": [{
        "header": "Section 1",
        "widgets": [
          { "textParagraph": { "text": "Some text" } },
          { "buttonList": { "buttons": [...] } }
        ]
      }]
    }
  }]
}
组件类型
  • textParagraph
    - 文本内容
  • buttonList
    - 按钮(文本或图标)
  • textInput
    - 文本输入框
  • selectionInput
    - 下拉菜单、复选框、开关
  • dateTimePicker
    - 日期/时间选择器
  • divider
    - 水平线
  • image
    - 图片
  • decoratedText
    - 带图标/按钮的文本
文本格式(新增:2025年9月 - 正式版):
Cards v2同时支持HTML和Markdown格式:
typescript
// HTML格式(传统方式)
{
  textParagraph: {
    text: "This is <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i> text with <font color='#ea9999'>color</font>"
  }
}

// Markdown格式(新增 - 更适合AI Agent)
{
  textParagraph: {
    text: "This is **bold** and *italic* text\n\n- Bullet list\n- Second item\n\n```\ncode block\n```"
  }
}
支持的Markdown(文本消息和卡片):
  • **bold**
    *italic*
  • `code`
    用于行内代码
  • - list item
    1. ordered
    用于列表
  • ```code block```
    用于多行代码
  • ~strikethrough~
支持的HTML(仅卡片):
  • <b>bold</b>
    <i>italic</i>
    <u>underline</u>
  • <font color="#FF0000">colored</font>
  • <a href="url">link</a>
为什么Markdown很重要:大语言模型(LLM)自然输出Markdown。在2025年9月之前,你需要将Markdown转换为HTML。现在可以直接将Markdown传递给Chat。
重要提示
  • 每张卡片最多100个组件 - 超过会被自动截断
  • 组件顺序很重要 - 从上到下显示
  • cardId必须唯一 - 使用时间戳或UUID

Step 3: Handle User Interactions

步骤3:处理用户交互

When user clicks button or submits form:
typescript
export default {
  async fetch(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
    const event = await request.json()

    // Check event type
    if (event.type === 'MESSAGE') {
      // User sent message
      return handleMessage(event)
    }

    if (event.type === 'CARD_CLICKED') {
      // User clicked button
      const action = event.action.actionMethodName
      const params = event.action.parameters

      if (action === 'submitForm') {
        return handleFormSubmission(event)
      }
    }

    return Response.json({ text: "Unknown event" })
  }
}
Event Types:
  • ADDED_TO_SPACE
    - Bot added to space
  • REMOVED_FROM_SPACE
    - Bot removed
  • MESSAGE
    - User sent message
  • CARD_CLICKED
    - User clicked button/submitted form

当用户点击按钮或提交表单时:
typescript
export default {
  async fetch(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
    const event = await request.json()

    // 检查事件类型
    if (event.type === 'MESSAGE') {
      // 用户发送了消息
      return handleMessage(event)
    }

    if (event.type === 'CARD_CLICKED') {
      // 用户点击了按钮
      const action = event.action.actionMethodName
      const params = event.action.parameters

      if (action === 'submitForm') {
        return handleFormSubmission(event)
      }
    }

    return Response.json({ text: "未知事件" })
  }
}
事件类型
  • ADDED_TO_SPACE
    - 机器人被添加到空间
  • REMOVED_FROM_SPACE
    - 机器人被移除
  • MESSAGE
    - 用户发送消息
  • CARD_CLICKED
    - 用户点击按钮/提交表单

Critical Rules

关键规则

Always Do

必须遵守

✅ Return valid JSON with
cardsV2
array structure ✅ Set unique
cardId
for each card ✅ Verify bearer tokens for HTTP endpoints (production) ✅ Handle all event types (MESSAGE, CARD_CLICKED, etc.) ✅ Keep widget count under 100 per card ✅ Validate form inputs server-side
✅ 返回包含
cardsV2
数组结构的有效JSON ✅ 为每张卡片设置唯一的
cardId
✅ 对HTTP端点验证Bearer令牌(生产环境) ✅ 处理所有事件类型(MESSAGE、CARD_CLICKED等) ✅ 每张卡片的组件数量不超过100个 ✅ 在服务端验证表单输入

Never Do

禁止操作

❌ Store secrets in code (use Cloudflare Workers secrets) ❌ Exceed 100 widgets per card (silently fails) ❌ Return malformed JSON (breaks entire message) ❌ Skip bearer token verification (security risk) ❌ Trust client-side validation only (validate server-side) ❌ Use synchronous blocking operations (timeout risk)

❌ 在代码中存储密钥(使用Cloudflare Workers密钥管理) ❌ 每张卡片组件数量超过100个(会自动失效) ❌ 返回格式错误的JSON(会导致整个消息失效) ❌ 跳过Bearer令牌验证(安全风险) ❌ 仅依赖客户端验证(必须在服务端验证) ❌ 使用同步阻塞操作(有超时风险)

Configuration Files Reference

配置文件参考

Cloudflare Worker (wrangler.jsonc)

Cloudflare Worker(wrangler.jsonc)

jsonc
{
  "name": "google-chat-bot",
  "main": "src/index.ts",
  "compatibility_date": "2026-01-03",
  "compatibility_flags": ["nodejs_compat"],

  // Secrets (set with: wrangler secret put CHAT_BOT_TOKEN)
  "vars": {
    "ALLOWED_SPACES": "spaces/SPACE_ID_1,spaces/SPACE_ID_2"
  }
}
Why these settings:
  • nodejs_compat
    - Required for Web Crypto API (token verification)
  • Secrets stored securely (not in code)
  • Environment variables for configuration

jsonc
{
  "name": "google-chat-bot",
  "main": "src/index.ts",
  "compatibility_date": "2026-01-03",
  "compatibility_flags": ["nodejs_compat"],

  // Secrets (set with: wrangler secret put CHAT_BOT_TOKEN)
  "vars": {
    "ALLOWED_SPACES": "spaces/SPACE_ID_1,spaces/SPACE_ID_2"
  }
}
这些设置的作用
  • nodejs_compat
    - 令牌验证需要Web Crypto API
  • 密钥安全存储(不放在代码中)
  • 使用环境变量进行配置

Common Patterns

常见模式

          header: { title: "Alert" },
          sections: [{
            widgets: [{
              textParagraph: { text: message }
            }]
          }]
        }
      }]
    })
  })
}
When to use: CI/CD alerts, monitoring notifications, event triggers
typescript
// External service sends notification to Chat
async function sendNotification(webhookUrl: string, message: string) {
  await fetch(webhookUrl, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({

        card: {
          header: { title: "Alert" },
          sections: [{
            widgets: [{
              textParagraph: { text: message }
            }]
          }]
        }
      }]
    })
  })
}
适用场景:CI/CD告警、监控通知、事件触发

Pattern 2: Interactive Form

模式2:交互式表单

typescript
// Show form to collect data
function showForm() {
  return {
    cardsV2: [{
      cardId: "form-card",
      card: {
        header: { title: "Enter Details" },
        sections: [{
          widgets: [
            {
              textInput: {
                name: "email",
                label: "Email",
                type: "SINGLE_LINE",
                hintText: "user@example.com"
              }
            },
            {
              selectionInput: {
                name: "priority",
                label: "Priority",
                type: "DROPDOWN",
                items: [
                  { text: "Low", value: "low" },
                  { text: "High", value: "high" }
                ]
              }
            },
            {
              buttonList: {
                buttons: [{
                  text: "Submit",
                  onClick: {
                    action: {
                      function: "submitForm",
                      parameters: [{
                        key: "formId",
                        value: "contact-form"
                      }]
                    }
                  }
                }]
              }
            }
          ]
        }]
      }
    }]
  }
}
When to use: Data collection, approval workflows, ticket creation
typescript
// Show form to collect data
function showForm() {
  return {
    cardsV2: [{
      cardId: "form-card",
      card: {
        header: { title: "Enter Details" },
        sections: [{

Rate Limits

速率限制

Google Chat API enforces strict quotas to prevent abuse. Understanding these limits is critical for production apps.
Google Chat API实施严格的配额限制以防止滥用。了解这些限制对生产环境应用至关重要。

Per-Project Quotas (Per Minute)

项目级配额(每分钟)

OperationLimitNotes
Read operations3,000/minspaces.get, members.list, messages.list
Membership writes300/minmembers.create, members.delete
Space writes60/minspaces.create, spaces.patch
Message operations600/minmessages.create, reactions.create
Reactions600/minShared with message operations
操作限制说明
读取操作3,000/分钟spaces.get、members.list、messages.list
成员管理写入操作300/分钟members.create、members.delete
空间管理写入操作60/分钟spaces.create、spaces.patch
消息操作600/分钟messages.create、reactions.create
反应操作600/分钟与消息操作共享配额

Per-Space Quotas (Per Second)

空间级配额(每秒)

OperationLimit
Read operations15/sec
Write operations1/sec
操作限制
读取操作15/秒
写入操作1/秒

Per-User Quotas

用户级配额

User-authenticated requests are also throttled per user:
  • 60 requests/minute per user for most operations
  • 10 requests/minute for space creation
用户授权的请求也会按用户进行限流:
  • 大多数操作每分钟60次请求
  • 空间创建每分钟10次请求

Handling Rate Limit Errors

处理速率限制错误

typescript
async function withRetry<T>(
  fn: () => Promise<T>,
  maxRetries = 3
): Promise<T> {
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
    try {
      return await fn()
    } catch (error: any) {
      if (error.status === 429) {
        // Rate limited - wait with exponential backoff
        const waitMs = Math.pow(2, i) * 1000 + Math.random() * 1000
        await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, waitMs))
        continue
      }
      throw error
    }
  }
  throw new Error('Max retries exceeded')
}

// Usage
const spaces = await withRetry(() => listSpaces(accessToken))
Best Practices:
  • Cache read operations where possible
  • Batch membership operations
  • Use pagination efficiently (request larger pages, fewer requests)
  • Implement exponential backoff for 429 errors
  • Monitor quota usage in Google Cloud Console

typescript
async function withRetry<T>(
  fn: () => Promise<T>,
  maxRetries = 3
): Promise<T> {
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
    try {
      return await fn()
    } catch (error: any) {
      if (error.status === 429) {
        // 触发速率限制 - 指数退避等待
        const waitMs = Math.pow(2, i) * 1000 + Math.random() * 1000
        await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, waitMs))
        continue
      }
      throw error
    }
  }
  throw new Error('达到最大重试次数')
}

// 使用示例
const spaces = await withRetry(() => listSpaces(accessToken))
最佳实践
  • 尽可能缓存读取操作
  • 批量处理成员操作
  • 高效使用分页(请求更大的页面,减少请求次数)
  • 对429错误实现指数退避
  • 在Google Cloud控制台监控配额使用情况
