SetUpSpace

rpc SetUpSpace(SetUpSpaceRequest) returns (Space)

Creates a space and adds specified users to it. The calling user is automatically added to the space, and shouldn't be specified as a membership in the request. For an example, see Set up a space with initial members.

To specify the human members to add, add memberships with the appropriate membership.member.name. To add a human user, use users/{user}, where {user} can be the email address for the user. For users in the same Workspace organization {user} can also be the id for the person from the People API, or the id for the user in the Directory API. For example, if the People API Person profile ID for user@example.com is 123456789, you can add the user to the space by setting the membership.member.name to users/user@example.com or users/123456789.

To specify the Google groups to add, add memberships with the appropriate membership.group_member.name. To add or invite a Google group, use groups/{group}, where {group} is the id for the group from the Cloud Identity Groups API. For example, you can use Cloud Identity Groups lookup API to retrieve the ID 123456789 for group email group@example.com, then you can add the group to the space by setting the membership.group_member.name to groups/123456789. Group email is not supported, and Google groups can only be added as members in named spaces.

For a named space or group chat, if the caller blocks, or is blocked by some members, or doesn't have permission to add some members, then those members aren't added to the created space.

To create a direct message (DM) between the calling user and another human user, specify exactly one membership to represent the human user. If one user blocks the other, the request fails and the DM isn't created.

To create a DM between the calling user and the calling app, set Space.singleUserBotDm to true and don't specify any memberships. You can only use this method to set up a DM with the calling app. To add the calling app as a member of a space or an existing DM between two human users, see Invite or add a user or app to a space.

If a DM already exists between two users, even when one user blocks the other at the time a request is made, then the existing DM is returned.

Spaces with threaded replies aren't supported. If you receive the error message ALREADY_EXISTS when setting up a space, try a different displayName. An existing space within the Google Workspace organization might already use this display name.

Requires user authentication.

To filter reactions by emoji and user, use the AND operator, such as emoji.unicode = "🙂" AND user.name = "users/AAAAAA".

If your query uses both AND and OR, group them with parentheses.

For example, the following queries are valid:

user.name = "users/{user}"
emoji.unicode = "🙂"
emoji.custom_emoji.uid = "{uid}"
emoji.unicode = "🙂" OR emoji.unicode = "👍"

filter

string

Required. A query filter.

You must specify at least one event type (event_type) using the has : operator. To filter by multiple event types, use the OR operator. Omit batch event types in your filter. The request automatically returns any related batch events. For example, if you filter by new reactions (google.workspace.chat.reaction.v1.created), the server also returns batch new reactions events (google.workspace.chat.reaction.v1.batchCreated). For a list of supported event types, see the SpaceEvents reference documentation.

Optionally, you can also filter by start time (start_time) and end time (end_time):

  • start_time: Exclusive timestamp from which to start listing space events. You can list events that occurred up to 28 days ago. If unspecified, lists space events from the past 28 days.
  • end_time: Inclusive timestamp until which space events are listed. If unspecified, lists events up to the time of the request.

To specify a start or end time, use the equals = operator and format in RFC-3339. To filter by both start_time and end_time, use the AND operator.

For example, the following queries are valid:

start_time="2023-08-23T19:20:33+00:00" AND
end_time="2023-08-23T19:21:54+00:00"

Request to search for a list of spaces based on a query.

Fields
use_admin_access

bool

When true, the method runs using the user's Google Workspace administrator privileges.

The calling user must be a Google Workspace administrator with the manage chat and spaces conversations privilege.

Requires either the chat.admin.spaces.readonly or chat.admin.spaces OAuth 2.0 scope.

This method currently only supports admin access, thus only true is accepted for this field.
page_size

int32

The maximum number of spaces to return. The service may return fewer than this value.

If unspecified, at most 100 spaces are returned.

The maximum value is 1000. If you use a value more than 1000, it's automatically changed to 1000.
page_token

string

A token, received from the previous search spaces call. Provide this parameter to retrieve the subsequent page.

When paginating, all other parameters provided should match the call that provided the page token. Passing different values to the other parameters might lead to unexpected results.
query

string

Required. A search query.

You can search by using the following parameters:

  • create_time
  • customer
  • display_name
  • external_user_allowed
  • last_active_time
  • space_history_state
  • space_type

create_time and last_active_time accept a timestamp in RFC-3339 format and the supported comparison operators are: =, <, >, <=, >=.

customer is required and is used to indicate which customer to fetch spaces from. customers/my_customer is the only supported value.

display_name only accepts the HAS (:) operator. The text to match is first tokenized into tokens and each token is prefix-matched case-insensitively and independently as a substring anywhere in the space's display_name. For example, Fun Eve matches Fun event or The evening was fun, but not notFun event or even.

external_user_allowed accepts either true or false.

space_history_state only accepts values from the historyState field of a space resource.

space_type is required and the only valid value is SPACE.

Across different fields, only AND operators are supported. A valid example is space_type = "SPACE" AND display_name:"Hello" and an invalid example is space_type = "SPACE" OR display_name:"Hello".

Among the same field, space_type doesn't support AND or OR operators. display_name, 'space_history_state', and 'external_user_allowed' only support OR operators. last_active_time and create_time support both AND and OR operators. AND can only be used to represent an interval, such as last_active_time < "2022-01-01T00:00:00+00:00" AND last_active_time > "2023-01-01T00:00:00+00:00".

The following example queries are valid:

customer = "customers/my_customer" AND space_type = "SPACE"

customer = "customers/my_customer" AND space_type = "SPACE" AND
display_name:"Hello World"

customer = "customers/my_customer" AND space_type = "SPACE" AND
(last_active_time < "2020-01-01T00:00:00+00:00" OR last_active_time >
"2022-01-01T00:00:00+00:00")

customer = "customers/my_customer" AND space_type = "SPACE" AND
(display_name:"Hello World" OR display_name:"Fun event") AND
(last_active_time > "2020-01-01T00:00:00+00:00" AND last_active_time <
"2022-01-01T00:00:00+00:00")

customer = "customers/my_customer" AND space_type = "SPACE" AND
(create_time > "2019-01-01T00:00:00+00:00" AND create_time <
"2020-01-01T00:00:00+00:00") AND (external_user_allowed = "true") AND
(space_history_state = "HISTORY_ON" OR space_history_state = "HISTORY_OFF")
order_by

string

Optional. How the list of spaces is ordered.

Supported attributes to order by are:

  • membership_count.joined_direct_human_user_count — Denotes the count of human users that have directly joined a space.
  • last_active_time — Denotes the time when last eligible item is added to any topic of this space.
  • create_time — Denotes the time of the space creation.

Valid ordering operation values are:

  • ASC for ascending. Default value.

  • DESC for descending.

The supported syntax are:

  • membership_count.joined_direct_human_user_count DESC
  • membership_count.joined_direct_human_user_count ASC
  • last_active_time DESC
  • last_active_time ASC
  • create_time DESC

To mark the space as read, set last_read_time to any value later (larger) than the latest message create time. The last_read_time is coerced to match the latest message create time. Note that the space read state only affects the read state of messages that are visible in the space's top-level conversation. Replies in threads are unaffected by this timestamp, and instead rely on the thread read state.

If the existing space has a target audience, you can remove the audience and restrict space access by omitting a value for this field mask. To update access settings for a space, the authenticating user must be a space manager and omit all other field masks in your request. You can't update this field if the space is in import mode. To learn more, see Make a space discoverable to specific users. access_settings.audience is not supported with useAdminAccess.
