Google Chat Laravel Notification Channel

The Laravel Notification Channels project now has a Google Chat notification channel for Laravel. This package makes it easy to send notifications using a custom Google chat message channel:

// Create a super simple message
public function toGoogleChat($notifiable)
{
    return GoogleChatMessage::create('An invoice was paid!');
}

You can also do simple formatting and advanced card layouts using the package’s provided classes:

// Simple text formatting and routing to a specific chat room
GoogleChatMessage::create()
    ->text('Someone just paid an invoice... ')
    ->bold('Woo-hoo!')
    ->line('Looking for ')
    ->link(route('invoices'), 'the details?')
    ->to('sales_team'); // ... and route it to specific rooms

// Advanced card layout
GoogleChatMessage::create()
    ->text('Invoice Paid! Here\'s the details:')
    ->card(
        Card::create(
            Section::create(
                KeyValue::create('Amount', '$520.99', '#10004756')
                    ->onClick(route('invoices'))
                    ->button(TextButton::create(route('invoices'), 'View'))
            )
        )
    );

Lastly, this package has the concept of “alternate” rooms, which you can configure to explicitly send messages to a Google chat room instead of the default:

// config/google-chat.php
return [
    'spaces' => [
        'dev_team' => 'https://chat.googleapis.com/dev-team-room?key=xxxxx',
        // ...
    ]
];

// Usage
GoogleChatMessage::create()->to('dev_team')->...
