Creating a Google Chat Webhook​

You can configure Syft to alert you in real-time about visitors to your website with high intent by sending messages to a Google Chat space via webhook.

To enable this integration, you will need:

  • A Google Workspace account
  • Access to a Google Chat space where you can create webhooks

Step 1: Create a Webhook in Google Chat​

  1. Open the Google Chat space where you want to receive alerts
  2. Click on the space name at the top to open space settings
  3. Navigate to Apps and integrations → Manage webhooks
  4. Click Create webhook or Add webhook
  5. Give your webhook a name (e.g., "Syft Alerts")
  6. Copy the webhook URL that Google Chat generates. It will look like: 
    https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/SPACE_ID/messages?key=KEY&token=TOKEN

Step 2: Use the Webhook in a motion​

To send alerts to your Google Chat space, you need to configure a motion in Syft:

  1. Navigate to the Motions page in your Syft dashboard
  2. Create a new motion or edit an existing one
  3. Enable the Google Chat action
  4. When prompted for the webhook URL, paste the webhook URL you copied from Google Chat in Step 1
  5. Save your motion configuration

Once configured, Syft will automatically send alerts to your Google Chat space whenever the motion's conditions are met (e.g., when a high-intent visitor is identified on your website).

Message Formatting​

Alerts sent to Google Chat include:

  • Visitor identification information
  • Company details (when available)
  • Intent signals and behavioral data
  • Links to view full details in Syft
