Google Chat

It would be cool if it can integrate with Google Chat (Incoming Webhook)

How to? Here.

Google Chat should be integrated through Webhook, this issue could be closed, no?

Yes, you can get basic notifications working with the Webhook integration.

A "native" integration allows several quality-of-life improvements:

• You don't need to copy-paste and edit JSON snippets when setting up a new integration.
• No worries about special character escaping. Let's say you are posting JSON document and use the $NAME placeholder in it. If a check's name contains a double quote, the resulting JSON will be invalid and the notifications will likely not work
• Access to more data. For example, you can include check's description in the notification (which is not available as a placeholder for webhooks currently)

Apparently incoming webhooks don't work with personal Google accounts – they only work with Google Workspace.

I don't have a Google Workspace organization. I know there is a 14 day trial I could perhaps use, but the integrations require ongoing maintenance, and I don't want to start another 14 day trial every 6 months or so. If there's a way to test incoming webhooks without me having to create trial or paid Workspace accounts, I'd be interested to know.
