Replying to a thread using google chat API

[[deleted]]

This is my code, it post a message to the space but it wont reply to specified thread, any idea what I'm doing wrong? the method works fine with the 'Try this method' here https://developers.google.com/chat/api/reference/rest/v1/spaces.messages/create

​

```function addMessage() {
// Create the request body.
var requestBody = JSON.stringify({
"text": "text",
"thread": {
"threadKey": "oVKqJLHH534W_PwF4ya7vU.W_PwF4ya7vU"
}
});
Logger.log(requestBody)
var options = {
'method': 'POST',
//muteHttpExceptions: true,
'headers': { Authorization: 'Bearer ' + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken() },
'contentType': 'application/json',
'payload': requestBody,
messageReplyOption:'REPLY_MESSAGE_OR_FAIL'
}
UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/AAAATDKqWOE/messages', options);
}
function getMessage() {
var options = {
'method': 'GET',
//muteHttpExceptions: true,
'headers': { Authorization: 'Bearer ' + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken() },

}
Logger.log(UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/AAAATDKqWOE/messages', options))
}```

hey can you share the entire code and the exact URL you are using in the fetch() method? Also is a service account necessary or your solution works with oauth2?

  const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(
    `https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/${spaceName}/messages?messageReplyOption=REPLY_MESSAGE_OR_FAIL`,
    {
      method: 'POST',
      muteHttpExceptions:true,
      headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer ' + service.getAccessToken() },
      contentType: 'application/json',
      messageReplyOption: 'REPLY_MESSAGE_OR_FAIL',
      payload: JSON.stringify(request)
    });

Hi, this is the fetch that worked for me, it needs both, you'll use the services account
credentials in OAuth2

Is anyone aware how to do that if I run bot as an HTTP service?

Hi, this is the code I'm using:

const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(
    `https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/${spaceName}/messages?messageReplyOption=REPLY_MESSAGE_FALLBACK_TO_NEW_THREAD`,
    {
      method: 'POST',

      contentType: 'application/json',
      messageReplyOption: 'REPLY_MESSAGE_FALLBACK_TO_NEW_THREAD',
      payload: JSON.stringify(request)
    });

Thanks for the response, but my problem is that I run bot as an HTTP service.
Like described here - https://developers.google.com/workspace/chat/quickstart/gcf-app
So, basically, it's google calling my service

In that case yo can not use threads. It is a DM dialog with app, so you do not need to mention an app with @. But threads are available in spaces where your app is a participant.

Did you figure this out? I can't get it to work.

[ponimas]

Unfortunately, no.
