Google Chat integration

Forward bug, session, and release events as cards into any Google Chat space.

What it does

Lepta uses Google Chat Incoming Webhooks — a single URL pinned to one space. Works on every Google Workspace plan and requires no OAuth.

Setup

  1. 1

    Open the target space

    In Google Chat, open the space that should receive notifications (e.g. #qa-alerts).
  2. 2

    Add a webhook

    Click the space name → Apps & integrations → Webhooks → Add webhook. Give it a name (e.g. Lepta QA) and optionally an avatar URL.
  3. 3

    Copy the webhook URL

    Google Chat shows a URL that starts with https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/…/messages?key=…&token=…. Treat it like a password — anyone with it can post to the space.
  4. 4

    Connect it in Lepta

    In Lepta, open Integrations → Google Chat, paste the URL, choose the events you want forwarded, and click Connect. Hit Send test to confirm the space is wired up.

Events

bug.createdA new bug is filed.
bug.updatedTitle, description, severity, etc. change.
bug.status_changedBug moves through workflow states.
session.createdA test session is started.
session.endedA session is closed out.

Notes

Google Chat delivery is best-effort and decoupled from Lepta's outgoing webhooks — if Google Chat is down, the rest of the system keeps working. To rotate the webhook, regenerate it in the space's webhook settings and paste the new URL into Lepta.
