How to connect Google Chat and Coda
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Chat and Coda
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Google Chat, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Chat or Coda will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Chat or Coda, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Google Chat Node
Select the Google Chat node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Chat, Coda, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Google Chat and Coda integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Chat and Coda (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Chat and Coda
Google Chat + Coda + Google Calendar: When a new message is received in Google Chat, extract the meeting details and create a row in Coda to track the meeting agenda. Then, create an event in Google Calendar to schedule the meeting.
Coda + Google Chat + Jira: When a new row is added to Coda (representing a task), a message is sent to Google Chat to notify the team. Simultaneously, a new issue is created in Jira to track the task's progress.
