This section provides Google Chat app samples hosted on GitHub. These samples help you build and deploy different kinds of Chat apps quickly.
For step-by-step instructions about how to build a basic Chat app, try a quickstart.
When you're ready to review other samples, the Google Chat repo on GitHub contains working examples of different types of Chat apps, including apps that:
- Respond synchronously or asynchronously.
- Respond with a card-formatted response.
- Use Google Cloud Pub/Sub to receive and respond to messages asynchronously.
- Call other APIs.
Find GitHub samples at the left under GitHub samples or review a productivity tracking Chat app that uses multiple APIs written in Python.
