Google Chat FAQ
Does Google Chat need a paid Tenium plan?
No. Google Chat is available on the Free plan together with Discord and email.
Why is the message plain text?
Tenium sends a compact text message with the title, the summary and a link. It reads well in a busy space and works in every Workspace edition.
Where do I find the webhook URL later?
In Google Chat, under the space’s Apps and integrations. If you lose it, create a new webhook, add it as a new contact in Tenium and remove the old one.
Which plan includes Google Chat?
Google Chat is available on every plan, including Free.
How do I test Google Chat alerts?
Open Settings, Contacts and press Send test next to the contact. A message labelled TEST arrives within seconds. Add at least one monitor first, because the checker sends the alerts.
Can I delay Google Chat until nobody has reacted?
Yes, on Pro and Agency. Give the contact an alert delay in minutes: it fires only if the incident is still open then, and acknowledging the incident cancels it.
