Can AppSheet Automation "Send a Chat Message" to Google Chat Use JSON Format?

[FerdyanH]

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask about AppSheet Automation.

I tried using the "Send a chat message" to Google Chat, and I filled the Message Text section with a JSON format like this:

{
  "cards": [
    {
      "header": {
        "title": "Exemple Title",
        "subtitle": "<<[match_vod_title]>>"
      },
      "sections": [
        {
          "widgets": [
            {
              "textParagraph": {
                "text": "exemple in here"
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

However, when the message arrives in Google Chat, it just shows the raw JSON code as text, instead of displaying it as a card.

Is there a workaround for this? Does the Automation feature in the "Send a chat messages" section of AppSheet not support sending JSON formatted cards to Google Chat?

Thank you in advance for your help!
