Private Beta — Google Chat integration is currently in private beta. Contact us or book a demo to request access.

​
Overview

Google Chat integration lets you automatically deliver charts, visualizations, and AI-powered analysis directly to Google Chat spaces and DMs. It uses your existing Google Workspace account — no extra bot tokens or service accounts required.

​
Features

  • Space Delivery: Send charts to any Google Chat space your account has access to.
  • Direct Messages: Deliver personal dashboards and reports straight to DMs.
  • AI Analysis: Every chart includes an AI-generated summary highlighting trends and suggested actions.
  • Google Workspace Native: Connects via your Google account through Clerk OAuth — no separate credentials to manage.
  • Scheduled Reports: Set up daily, weekly, or custom schedules for chart delivery.

​
Setup

1

Grant Google Chat permissions

Go to Settings → Destinations and click Connect next to Google Chat. This will prompt you to grant Chartcastr permission to send messages on your behalf via Google Chat.Chartcastr requests two scopes:
  • chat.messages.create — to send charts and analysis to spaces/DMs
  • chat.spaces.readonly — to list available spaces for you to choose from
2

Select a space or DM

Once connected, your Google Chat spaces will appear in the destination picker when creating or editing a connection. Select the space or DM where you want charts delivered.
3

Create a connection

Pair a data source (e.g., Google Sheets, BigQuery) with your chosen Google Chat destination. Set your preferred schedule and Chartcastr will handle the rest.
Google Chat integration uses your Google account’s OAuth tokens managed by Clerk. You do not need to create a bot or service account — Chartcastr sends messages as your connected Google user.
