Frequently Asked Questions about GitHub + Google Chat integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with GitHub and Google Chat
How do I connect my GitHub account to Google Chat?
To connect your GitHub account to Google Chat, you'll need to set up a webhook in your GitHub repository settings specifying the Google Chat URL. This allows events from GitHub, such as new pull requests or issues, to trigger notifications in Google Chat.
What permissions are needed for the integration?
The GitHub connection requires repository read and write permissions to access events and send notifications. Google Chat needs 'Send messages' permission in order to post those notifications.
Can I customize which GitHub events trigger notifications in Google Chat?
Yes, you can customize these settings within our platform. You can choose specific triggers like pushes, pull requests, or issue comments that will prompt alerts in your designated Google Chat room.
Is it possible to filter notifications based on specific criteria?
Absolutely! We provide filtering options to refine which notifications appear in Google Chat based on particular branches or labels within your GitHub activity.
Can I use the integration for multiple repositories?
Yes, you can set up integrations for multiple repositories by configuring individual webhooks for each repository. This ensures that distinct repository actions trigger their respective messages in Google Chat.
Do notifications show when a pull request is merged?
You can enable notifications specifically for pull request merges. This option ensures that every time a pull request is successfully merged into the main branch, a notification is sent to your designated channel in Google Chat.
What should I do if my messages are not appearing in Google Chat?
Check your webhook setup and ensure it targets the correct URL with proper authentication tokens. Ensure your triggers are defined according to our requirements and verify network configurations that might block outgoing connections.
