Google Chat OAuth allows Google Chat to access user data and perform operations on the authenticated user's behalf.

Torq enables quick and easy integration with Google Chat OAuth, so you can automate anything and everything within moments. Torq's public Google Chat OAuth steps include:

Create Direct Message Space
List Spaces
Send Message

If you don't see a step you need, you can create your own in various ways, such as using the Send an HTTP Request step or Torq’s Step Builder, and share it across your organization.
