Lineman and Google Chat

Send the digest and alerts into a Google Chat space, for teams running on Google Workspace.

What this gets you

Your Lineman cost digest and spend alerts post into a Google Chat space as a card. The card shows the period it covers, total spend and what Lineman saved you, with an Open Cost Explorer button through to the full breakdown. It runs on an incoming webhook you create inside the space, so there is no Google Cloud project or OAuth client to register.

What people use it for

  • The cost digest in your space

    The digest posts as a card with the period covered, total spend and what Lineman saved you, plus an Open Cost Explorer button for the full breakdown. Figures cover the whole company and are in US dollars, so pick a space whose members are allowed to see company totals.

  • Alerts that read on a phone

    The digest and spend alerts both go to the space you connect. Every message carries a plain-text summary alongside the card, and that is what your phone shows in the notification, so the figures stay legible anywhere the card itself is not rendered.

  • Know when a destination breaks

    Deleting the webhook in Chat does not tell Lineman. Google rejects the next delivery, and rather than counting it as sent, Lineman marks the destination broken and records the reason, so you see it next time you open the integration page. A failed test is recorded the same way. Pasting a fresh URL over the old one clears the failure without disconnecting first.
