## Introduction
To use these commands you must update your service account authorization.
```
gam user user@domain.com update serviceaccount

[*]  3)  Chat API - Custom Emojis (supports readonly)
[*]  4)  Chat API - Memberships (supports readonly)
[*]  5)  Chat API - Memberships Admin (supports readonly)
[*]  6)  Chat API - Messages (supports readonly)
[*]  7)  Chat API - Spaces (supports readonly)
[*]  8)  Chat API - Spaces Admin (supports readonly)
[*]  9)  Chat API - Spaces Delete
[*] 10)  Chat API - Spaces Delete Admin
[*] 11)  Chat API - User Sections (supports readonly)

```
`Chat API - User Sections` is in Developer Preview; you must have a `developer_preview_api_key` in `gam.cfg` to use these commands.

Added `use_chat_admin_access` Boolean variable to `gam.cfg`. 
```
* When False, GAM uses user access when making all Chat API calls. For calls that support admin access,
    this can be overridden with the asadmin command line option.
* When True, GAM uses admin access for Chat API calls that support admin access; other calls will use user access.
* Default: False
```

Google requires that you have a Chat Bot configured in order to use the Chat API; set up a Chat Bot as described in the next section.

## Set up a Chat Bot

* Run the command `gam setup chat`; it will point you to a URL to configure your Chat Bot.
* Uncheck "Build this chat app as a workspace add-on"
* Enter an App name and Description of your choosing.
* For the Avatar URL you can use `https://dummyimage.com/384x256/4d4d4d/0011ff.png&text=+GAM` or a public URL to an image of your own choosing.
* In Functionality, uncheck both "Receive 1:1 messages" and "Join spaces and group conversations"
* In Connection settings, choose "Cloud Pub/Sub" and enter `projects/<ProjectID>/topics/no-topic` for the Topic Name. Replace `<ProjectID>` with your GAM project ID. GAM doesn't yet listen to pub/sub so this option is not used.
* In Visibility, uncheck "Make this Chat app available to specific people and groups in Domain Workspace".
* Click Save.

Use the `<ChatContent>` option to send an initial message to the created chatspace.

By default, details about the chatmessage are displayed.
* `returnidonly` - Display the chatmessage name only

### Update a user's chat space
```
gam <UserTypeEntity> update chatspace <ChatSpace>
        [restricted|(audience <String>)]|
        ([displayname <String>]
         [type space]
         [description <String>] [guidelines|rules <String>]
         [history <Boolean>])
        [managemembersandgroups owners|managers|members]

The `restricted|audience` options can not be combined with options `displayname,type,description,guidelines,history`.

By default, Gam displays the information about the created chatspace as an indented list of keys and values.
* `formatjson` - Display the fields in JSON format.

### Update a chat space, asadmin
```
gam <UserItem> update chatspace asadmin <ChatSpace>

### Delete a user's chat space
```
gam <UserTypeEntity> delete chatspace <ChatSpace>
```

```

## Display Chat Spaces
### Display information about a specific chat space for a user
```
gam <UserTypeEntity> info chatspace <ChatSpace>
        [fields <ChatSpaceFieldNameList>]
        [formatjson]
```
By default, Gam displays the information as an indented list of keys and values.
* `formatjson` - Display the fields in JSON format.

### Display information about a direct message chat space between two users
```
gam <UserTypeEntity> info chatspacedm <UserItem>
        [fields <ChatSpaceFieldNameList>]
        [formatjson]
```
By default, Gam displays the information as an indented list of keys and values.
* `formatjson` - Display the fields in JSON format.

### Display information about all chat spaces for a user
```
gam <UserTypeEntity> show chatspaces
        [types <ChatSpaceTypeList>]
        [fields <ChatSpaceFieldNameList>] [showaccessssettings]
        [formatjson]
```
By default, chat spaces of all types are displayed.
* `types <ChatSpaceTypeList>` - Display specific types of spaces.

When listing Chat Spaces, the Chat API does not return the `accessSettings` field; if you need to see this field,
add `showaccesssettings` to the command. This requires an additional Chat API call per chat space of type `SPACE`
to get the `accessSettings` field.

By default, Gam displays the information as an indented list of keys and values.
* `formatjson` - Display the fields in JSON format.

```
gam <UserTypeEntity> print chatspaces [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]
        [types <ChatSpaceTypeList>]
        [fields <ChatSpaceFieldNameList>] [showaccessssettings]
        [formatjson [quotechar <Character>]]
```

* `types <ChatSpaceTypeList>` - Display specific types of spaces.

When listing Chat Spaces, the Chat API does not return the `accessSettings` field; if you need to see this field,
add `showaccesssettings` to the command. This requires an additional Chat API call per chat space of type `SPACE`
to get the `accessSettings` field.

By default, Gam displays the information as columns of fields; the following option causes the output to be in JSON format,
* `formatjson` - Display the fields in JSON format.

By default, when writing CSV files, Gam uses a quote character of double quote `"`. The quote character is used to enclose columns that contain
the quote character itself, the column delimiter (comma by default) and new-line characters. Any quote characters within the column are doubled.
When using the `formatjson` option, double quotes are used extensively in the data resulting in hard to read/process output.
The `quotechar <Character>` option allows you to choose an alternate quote character, single quote for instance, that makes for readable/processable output.
`quotechar` defaults to `gam.cfg/csv_output_quote_char`. When uploading CSV files to Google, double quote `"` should be used.

### Display information about all user's chat spaces
```
# Local file
gam config auto_batch_min 1 redirect csv ./AllChatSpaces.csv multiprocess redirect stdout - multiprocess redirect stderr stdout all users print chatspaces
# Google sheet
gam config auto_batch_min 1 redirect csv - todrive <ToDriveAttribute>* multiprocess redirect stdout - multiprocess redirect stderr stdout all users print chatspaces
```
Add these options as desired:
```
        [types <ChatSpaceTypeList>]
        [formatjson [quotechar <Character>]]
```

By default, members for all of a user's chat spaces of all types are displayed.
* `<ChatSpace>` - Display members for a specific chat space
* `types <ChatSpaceTypeList>` - Display members for specific types of spaces.

By default, all JOINED user members in a chat space are displayed.
* `showinvited` - Display `INVITED` members.
* `showgroups` - Display group members,
* `filter <String>` - Filter memberships by a member's `role `and `member.type`.
  * To filter by role, set role to ROLE_MEMBER or ROLE_MANAGER.
  * To filter by type, set member.type to HUMAN or BOT.
  * To filter by both role and type, use the AND operator.
  * To filter by either role or type, use the OR operator.

For example, the following filters are valid:
```
role = "ROLE_MANAGER" OR role = "ROLE_MEMBER"
member.type = "HUMAN" AND role = "ROLE_MANAGER"
```
The following filters are invalid:
```
member.type = "HUMAN" AND member.type = "BOT"

### Delete a user from their `space` and `groupchat` spaces
There is no way to delete a user from a directmessage space.

Replace user@domain.com and admin@domain.com with actual values.
```
gam redirect csv ./UserChatSpaces.csv user user@domain.com print chatspaces types space,groupchat
gam redirect stdout ./DeleteUserChatMemberships.txt multiprocess redirect stderr stdout csv ./UserChatSpaces.csv gam user admin@domain.com delete chatmember asadmin "~name" user "~User"
```

## Manage Chat Messages
### Create a chat message in a space

Messages are limited to 4,096 characters and will be trimmed to that length.

Chat supports [simple formatting](https://developers.google.com/chat/reference/message-formats/basic#using_formatted_text_in_messages) allowing you to bold, underline, italics and strikethrough your text.
```
gam <UserTypeEntity> create chatmessage <ChatSpace>
        <ChatContent>
        [messageId <ChatMessageID>]
        [(thread <ChatThread>)|(threadkey <String>) [replyoption fail|fallbacktonew]]
        [returnidonly]
```
Specify the text of the message: `<ChatContent>`
* `text <String>` - The message is `<String>`
* `textfile <FileName> [charset <Charset>]` - The message is read from a local file
* `gdoc <UserGoogleDoc>` - The message is read from a Google Doc.
* `gcsdoc <StorageBucketObjectName>` - The message is read from a Google Cloud Storage file.

By default, a new message thread is created; use `thread <ChatThread>` or `threadkey <String>` to create the message as a reply to an existing thread.
Use `replyoption` to specify what happens if the specified thread does not exist:
* `fail` - If the thread soes not exiat, a `Not Found` error is generated
* `fallbacktonew` - If the thread does not exist, start a new thread

The first time you reply to a thread you must use `thread <ChatThread>`; if you also specify `threadkey <String>`
then you can use just `threadkey <String>` in subsequent replies.

If you specify `thread` or `threadkey` but not `replyoption`, the default is `fail`.

By default, details about the chatmessage are displayed.
* `returnidonly` - Display the chatmessage name only

### Examples
This example creates a new chat message in the given room.
```
gam user user@domain.com create chatmessage space spaces/iEMj8AAAAAE text "Hello Chat"
```
This example creates a formatted message and posts it to an existing thread
```
gam user user@domain.com create chatmessage space spaces/AAAADi-pvqc thread spaces/AAAADi-pvqc/threads/FMNw-iE9jN4 text "*Bold* _Italics_ ~Strikethrough~"
```
This example reads the MotD.txt file and posts its contents to Chat.
```
gam user user@domain.com create chatmessage spaces spaces/AAAADi-pvqc textfile MotD.txt
```
This example reads the Google Doc MotD and posts its contents to Chat.
```
gam user user@domain.com create chatmessage spaces spaces/AAAADi-pvqc gdoc announcements@domain.com name "MotD"
```

### Update a Chat Message
Updates and rewrites an existing Chat message. Message will show as edited and no notification will be sent to members.
```
gam <UserTypeEntity> update chatmessage name <ChatMessage>
        [<ChatContent>] [clearattachments <String>]
```
Specify the text of the message: `<ChatContent>`
* `text <String>` - The message is `<String>`
* `textfile <FileName> [charset <Charset>]` - The message is read from a local file
* `gdoc <UserGoogleDoc>` - The message is read from a Google Doc.
* `gcsdoc <StorageBucketObjectName>` - The message is read from a Google Cloud Storage file.

The option `clearattachments <String>` can be used to clear all attachments from a Chat message.
If `<ChatContent>` is not specified, the current message text is retained and `<String>` is appended;
`<String>` must be specified but can be empty in which case the current message test is preserved as-is.

### Example
This example updates an existing chat message with new text.
```
gam user user@domain.com update chatmessage name spaces/AAAADi-pvqc/messages/PKJrx90ooIU.PKJrx90ooIU text "HELLO CHAT?"
```

This example clears attachments from a chat message and appends ` - Attachments cleared`
to the current message text.
```
gam user user@domain.com update chatmessage name spaces/AAAADi-pvqc/messages/PKJrx90ooIU.PKJrx90ooIU clearattachments " - Attachments cleared"
```

### Delete a Chat Message
Deletes the given Chat message. Members will no longer see the message.

```
gam <UserTypeEntity> delete chatmessage name <ChatMessage>
```

### Example
```
gam user user@domain.com delete chatmessage name spaces/AAAADi-pvqc/messages/PKJrx90ooIU.PKJrx90ooIU
```

## Display Chat Messages
Display a specific Chat message.

```
gam <UserTypeEntity> info chatmessage name <ChatMessage>
        [fields <ChatMessageFieldNameList>]
        [formatjson]
```
By default, Gam displays the information as an indented list of keys and values.
* `formatjson` - Display the fields in JSON format.

### Example
```
gam user user@domain.com info chatmessage name spaces/AAAADi-pvqc/messages/PKJrx90ooIU.PKJrx90ooIU
```

### Display information about all chat messages in a chat space
```
gam <UserTypeEntity> show chatmessages
        <ChatSpace>+
        [showdeleted [<Boolean>]] [filter <String>]
        [fields <ChatMessageFieldNameList>]
        [formatjson]
```
By default, Gam displays the information as an indented list of keys and values.
* `formatjson` - Display the fields in JSON format.

```
gam <UserTypeEntity> print chatmessages [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]
        <ChatSpace>+
        [showdeleted [<Boolean>]] [filter <String>]
        [fields <ChatMessageFieldNameList>]
        [formatjson [quotechar <Character>]]
```
By default, Gam displays the information as columns of fields; the following option causes the output to be in JSON format,
* `formatjson` - Display the fields in JSON format.

By default, when writing CSV files, Gam uses a quote character of double quote `"`. The quote character is used to enclose columns that contain
the quote character itself, the column delimiter (comma by default) and new-line characters. Any quote characters within the column are doubled.
When using the `formatjson` option, double quotes are used extensively in the data resulting in hard to read/process output.
The `quotechar <Character>` option allows you to choose an alternate quote character, single quote for instance, that makes for readable/processable output.
`quotechar` defaults to `gam.cfg/csv_output_quote_char`. When uploading CSV files to Google, double quote `"` should be used.

By default, deleted messages are not displayed; use `showdeleted` to also display deleted messages.

Use `filter <String>` to filter messages by `createTime` and `thread.name`.

To filter messages by the date they were created, specify the createTime with a timestamp in RFC-3339 format and double quotation marks. For example, "2023-04-21T11:30:00-04:00".
* Use the greater than operator `>` to list messages that were created after a timestamp.
* Use the less than operator `<` to list messages that were created before a timestamp.
* To filter messages within a time interval, use the AND operator between two timestamps.
* To filter by thread, specify the thread.name, formatted as spaces/{space}/threads/{thread}. You can only specify one thread.name per query.
* To filter by both thread and date, use the AND operator in your query.

For example, the following queries are valid on Linux/MacOS:
```
filter 'createTime > "2012-04-21T11:30:00-04:00"'
filter 'createTime > "2012-04-21T11:30:00-04:00" AND thread.name = spaces/AAAAAAAAAAA/threads/123'
filter 'createTime > "2012-04-21T11:30:00+00:00" AND createTime < "2013-01-01T00:00:00+00:00" AND thread.name = spaces/AAAAAAAAAAA/threads/123'
filter 'thread.name = spaces/AAAAAAAAAAA/threads/123'
```

For example, the following queries are valid on Windows Command Prompt:
```
filter "createTime > \"2012-04-21T11:30:00-04:00\""
filter "createTime > \"2012-04-21T11:30:00-04:00\" AND thread.name = spaces/AAAAAAAAAAA/threads/123"
filter "createTime > \"2012-04-21T11:30:00+00:00\" AND createTime < \"2013-01-01T00:00:00+00:00\" AND thread.name = spaces/AAAAAAAAAAA/threads/123"
filter "thread.name = spaces/AAAAAAAAAAA/threads/123"
```

For example, the following queries are valid on Windows PowerShell:
```
filter 'createTime > \"2012-04-21T11:30:00-04:00\"'
filter 'createTime > \"2012-04-21T11:30:00-04:00\" AND thread.name = spaces/AAAAAAAAAAA/threads/123"'
filter 'createTime > \"2012-04-21T11:30:00+00:00\" AND createTime < \"2013-01-01T00:00:00+00:00\" AND thread.name = spaces/AAAAAAAAAAA/threads/123'
filter 'thread.name = spaces/AAAAAAAAAAA/threads/123'
```

## Display Chat Events
Display a specific Chat event.

### Example
```
gam user user@domain.com info chatevent name spaces/AAAAsUhqjkg/spaceEvents/MTcxMTY4ODM2NDE3OTQzOV81X3VwZGF0ZWQ
```

### Display information about all chat events in a chat space
```

```
gam <UserTypeEntity> print chatevents [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]
        <ChatSpace>+
        filter <String>
        [formatjson [quotechar <Character>]]
```
By default, Gam displays the information as columns of fields; the following option causes the output to be in JSON format,
* `formatjson` - Display the fields in JSON format.

By default, when writing CSV files, Gam uses a quote character of double quote `"`. The quote character is used to enclose columns that contain

`quotechar` defaults to `gam.cfg/csv_output_quote_char`. When uploading CSV files to Google, double quote `"` should be used.

Use `filter <String>` to filter events by when they occurred and by the type of event.

To filter events by the date they happened, specify the start_time and end_time with a timestamp in RFC-3339 format and double quotation marks.

You must specify at least one event type (event_types) using the has : operator. To filter by multiple event types, use the OR operator.
For a list of supported event types, see: https://developers.google.com/workspace/chat/api/reference/rest/v1/spaces.spaceEvents#SpaceEvent.FIELDS.event_type

For example, the following queries are valid on Linux/MacOS:
```
filter 'start_time="2024-03-15T11:30:00-04:00" AND event_types:"google.workspace.chat.message.v1.created"'
filter 'start_time="2024-03-15T11:30:00+00:00" AND end_time="2024-03-3100:00:00+00:00"event_types:"google.workspace.chat.message.v1.created"'
```

For example, the following queries are valid on Windows Command Prompt:
```
filter "start_time=\"2024-03-15T11:30:00-04:00\" AND event_types:\"google.workspace.chat.message.v1.created\""
filter "start_time=\"2024-03-15T11:30:00+00:00\" AND end_time=\"2024-03-3100:00:00+00:00\" AND event_types:\"google.workspace.chat.message.v1.created\""
```

For example, the following queries are valid on Windows PowerShell:
```
filter 'start_time=\"2024-03-15T11:30:00-04:00\" AND event_types:\"google.workspace.chat.message.v1.created\"'
filter 'start_time=\"2024-03-15T11:30:00+00:00\" AND end_time=\"2024-03-3100:00:00+00:00\" AND event_types:\"google.workspace.chat.message.v1.created\"'
```

## Manage Chat Emojis

```
gam <UserTypeEntity> create chatemoji <ChatEmojiName>
         ([drivedir|(sourcefolder <FilePath>)] [filename <FileNamePattern>])
        [formatjson]
```
Emoji names must start and end with colons, must be lowercase and can only contain alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores.
Hyphens and underscores should be used to separate words and cannot be used consecutively.

By default, the emoji file will be uploaded from the current working directory.
* `drivedir` - The emoji file will be uploaded from the directory specified by `drive_dir` in gam.cfg
* `sourcefolder <FilePath>` - The emoji file will be uploaded from `<FilePath>`

Specify the emoji file name; the following substitutions will be made:
* `#email#` and `#user#` will be replaced by the user's full email address
