How to Find the Chat ID in Google Chat

To send automated messages via Google Chat in viaSocket, you'll need the Chat ID of the person you want to message. Here's a quick guide to finding it:

1. Open Google Chat
   Log into your Google account and open Google Chat.

2. Go to Direct Message
   Click on the direct message conversation with the person you want to contact.

3. Find the Chat ID in the URL
   Look at the browser's address bar. The URL will look like this:
   https://mail.google.com/chat/u/0/#chat/dm/abc123xyz
   The part after /dm/ (e.g., abc123xyz) is the Chat ID.

4. Copy the Chat ID
   Copy the ID (after /dm/) without any extra characters.

5. Enter the Chat ID in viaSocket
   Paste the copied ID into the "Chat ID" field in your viaSocket configuration.

6. Save and Test
   Save the settings and run a test to confirm your automated message is working.

Important Tip: Double-check the Chat ID for accuracy to avoid sending messages to the wrong person.

That's it! You're now ready to send automated messages through Google Chat in viaSocket.
