googleworkspace / hangouts-chat-apps-script-codelab Goto Github PK

I followed the instructions here: https://developers.google.com/hangouts/chat/how-tos/bots-apps-script#async_messages

When someone else in my organization adds the bot, the bot lets them know it requires configuration and takes them to the Apps Scripts authorization screen. Afterwards though, the bot does not function as the spaceId is not captured within script properties.

Only after removing the bot from the space and then re-adding it does it successfully add the spaceId to the App Script project script properties and begin to function.

Am I doing something wrong here or is this expected behavior?

This contains a small list of suggested updates for the Chat App that was shared on August 25, 2022 as a part of the Creating Google Workspace chat apps—what developers need to know live intro.

Link to Chat App code lab.

It seems that the tutorial was built with the old Apps Script IDE in mind that is due to be sunsetted soon (At the time of writing this).

I am grateful for the tutorial and appreciate all the work put into it.

Note: I am sure that the tutorial was written with a particular style guide in mind. I've tried to keep the language and style as close to the original, but I have no knowledge of the guide.

Original text is quoted, suggested revision is below it

3. Create the handlers for Google Chat events

Click File > Rename... and rename the new script ‘Attendance Bot'.

In the top-left of the editor, click on 'Untitled project' and rename the new script ‘Attendance Bot'.

Currently...

{
  "timeZone": "America/Los_Angeles",
  "dependencies": {
  },
  "chat": {}

Update to...

{
  "timeZone": "America/Los_Angeles",

The above includes exception login and runtime version that comes standard with the manifest file now.

Test the Chat app

1. Open Google Chat{:.external target="_blank"}.

Just a typo on this item at the end here.

1. Open Google Chat.

Green note reads:

Note: The code for this Chat app logs the event objects received from Google Chat. You can look at the structure of the event objects by viewing the logs. To open the logs, in the Apps Script editor click View > Stackdriver Logging.

This section will trigger the ADDED_TO_SPACE event but will result in errors when a user adds a message to the chat because, at this stage in the tutorial, onMessage() had not been created yet. It might be a good idea to highlight this so that there is no confusion.

5. Define a card-formatted response

The GitHub code for Step-5 does not provide the global variables for the HEADER until Code 6, but it is displayed in the code lab and is required to run the sample at that stage.

Test the Chat app

You will need to create and deploy a new version of the current deployment here.

To test this app, simply go back to your direct message with the app in Google Chat and type a message (any message will do).

To test this app,

1. Go back to the Apps Script Editor.
2. Select Deployment > Manage deployments.
3. Select the Edit pencil icon ++icon++ (Top-right of dialog) to update the Configuration.
4. Change the Version drop-down to 'New version'.
5. In the Description text input field type 'Update With Cards'.
6. Click Deploy.
7. Head back to Google Chat and type a message (any message will do).

6. React to button clicks in cards

Finally, you need to enable the Gmail Advanced Service in the project. To enable the Gmail API, do the following:

Needs a rewrite for new IDE.

1. Click Resources > Advanced Google Services.
2. In the list, find Gmail API and select on.
3. Still in the dialog box, click the link Google Cloud Platform API Dashboard below that opens the Google Cloud Console.
4. Click Enable APIs and Services.
5. Search for ‘Gmail API' and click the Gmail API card.
6. On the Gmail API page, click Enable.

1. Select the plus button ++icon++ in Servies in the sidebar.
2. In the list, find Gmail API and click to select it.
3. Select Add.
4. From the sidebar, select the Project Settings icon ++icon++
5. Under the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Project header select the Project number to open Google Cloud Console
6. From the GCP console sidebar select Apis and services > Library
7. Search for ‘Gmail API' and click the Gmail API card.
8. On the Gmail API page, click Enable.
9. Go back to the Apps Script Editor.
10. Select Deployment > Manage deployments.
11. Select the Edit pencil icon ++icon++ (Top-right of dialog) to update the Configuration.
12. Change the Version drop-down to 'New version'.
13. In the Description text input field type 'Include buttons'.
14. Click Deploy.
15. Head back to Google Chat and type a message (any message will do).

Note: If you are asked to provide access to the app, you may have to type your message a second time.

This probably needs expanding on. Also note, when authorisation is required the auth card does not pop into the chat and you must scroll down to see it.
Should the note also be in Green?

Note: On the first time you run the app, you may get a 'Attendance Bot requires configuration' warning message. This is because the app now accesses both the Calendar and Gmail APIs and needs the user's permission to access these scopes. Click Configure and authorise these scopes.

Hi!
Should the bot only reply with the "away" card if i type "sick" and something else otherwise? right now i can type anything and get the same "Are you taking time off today?"

When enabling the Hangouts Chat API, everything is fine until I go into the Configuration tab. There an error message shows:

The API "chat.googleapis.com" doesn't exist or you don't have permission to access it
Tracking Number: 2258005293166415353

What's happening, and how can I fix this?

At page 4 of the Codelab I am trying to execute substep 8 onward

8. Once the API is enabled, on the Hangouts Chat API page click the Configuration tab.
   Note: Ignore any messages asking you to create credentials.
9. In the Configuration tab, do the following:

The problem is when I try to click on the Configuration tab I get the following message

https://s14.postimg.org/a6i8ijuv5/scr1.png

It says "The API "chat.googleapis.com" doesn't exist or you don't have permission to access it"

Bot works fine when i chat directly with the bot, but when i included the bot in a hangouts chat group sometimes works fine but many times when i click on block out day or Set vacation in Gmail but shows an error but do the task:

No es posible contactar con Attendance Bot. Inténtalo de nuevo más tarde.

It's not possible to contact Attendance Bot. Try again later.

This image show bot do the task but continue "processing":

After that:

Can you help me, thanks.

I followed 5. Define a card-formatted response, but it didn't work.

When i message the bot, it was a reused bot. It was not respondong how?
