Gws Chat Send

Quick way to fire off messages to Google Chat spaces from Claude conversations. Takes a space ID and plain text, sends it straight through the Google Chat API via the gws CLI tool. Most useful when you need to notify teams about automated processes, share quick updates, or bridge Claude's analysis into your team's chat flow. Won't handle rich formatting or threaded replies, but for basic notifications it's clean and direct. You'll need the gws tool installed and Google Workspace auth configured first.
