# Google Chat

Monitor Google Chat event notification delivery and logs.

> This is a plan-gated feature. If it isn't available in your account, visit the [Billing](/docs/org-mgmt/billing) page or contact support to review your options.

This page covers Google Chat message format, send history, and delivery logs for event notifications. Open [Google Chat history](/app/notifications/gchat/history) and [Google Chat delivery logs](/app/notifications/gchat/logs) in the admin console. For endpoint setup and admin controls, see [Google Chat integrations](/docs/integrations/gchat). For how visitors subscribe on `/subscribe`, see [Google Chat subscriptions](/docs/status-dashboards/subscriptions/gchat).

When an event with **Notifications** enabled triggers a delivery, matching verified Google Chat subscribers receive an HTTPS POST to `chat.googleapis.com` with a message describing the event at send time. For incidents and maintenance, the message includes an **Impact Analysis** section after the description when that field is set (before affected components).

Description, impact analysis, and timeline messages keep the formatting you author in the event editor: **bold**, *italic*, strikethrough, links, and bullet or numbered lists. Inline code is sent as plain text.

For how **Visibility** and subscription toggles affect delivery across channels, see [Notifications overview — FAQ](/docs/notifications#frequently-asked-questions). Turning the dashboard **Subscriptions** Google Chat toggle off hides public sign-up; existing verified endpoints still receive deliveries.

## Monthly integration message limit
Outbound webhook, Teams, Google Chat, and Slack deliveries share an organization monthly integration message limit (UTC calendar month). Usage appears on [Overview](/app) and integration or notification screens.

* When the limit is reached, further deliveries are skipped (logged as skipped for quota) and are not retried.
* Event saves always succeed — the limit applies only to asynchronous outbound delivery.

## Send history
[Google Chat history](/app/notifications/gchat/history) shows a UTC calendar-month bar graph of **event notification Google Chat deliveries** per day. Navigate **13 months** of history with previous/next month controls. Counts match the event-notification portion of your combined integration delivery quota (history is tracked per channel). All bucketing uses UTC calendar days and months.

## Delivery logs
[Google Chat delivery logs](/app/notifications/gchat/logs) list individual delivery attempts. Each row includes:

| Field                 | Meaning                                                                  |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Endpoint**          | Redacted endpoint display (`urlDisplay`)                                 |
| **Status**            | Aggregate outcome — **Accepted**, **Failed**, or **Skipped** (see below) |
| **HTTP status**       | Numeric response status when a response was received                     |
| **Event / dashboard** | Related event and dashboard when applicable                              |
| **Error**             | Short client-side reason on failures                                     |

Open a row for request and response bodies (may be truncated). Logs are retained for **30 days**.

Each log includes a **delivery timeline** with one step — integration delivery is a single HTTP round-trip. Status reflects the endpoint's HTTP response, not delivery inside Google Chat or your handler.

### Status values
| Status                   | Meaning                                                                                                                                                                                 |

| **Skipped (quota)**      | Monthly integration message limit reached                                                                                                                                               |
