CardService provides the ability to create generic cards used across different Google extensibility products, such as Google Workspace Add-ons.
Below is a sample for an add-ons card.
function createCard() { return CardService.newCardBuilder() .setHeader(CardService.newCardHeader().setTitle('CardTitle')) .build(); }
Or you can return multiple Cards like so:
function createCards() { return [ CardService.newCardBuilder().build(), CardService.newCardBuilder().build(), CardService.newCardBuilder().build(), ]; }
The following shows how you could define a card with a header, text, an image and a menu item:
function createWidgetDemoCard() { return CardService.newCardBuilder() .setHeader( CardService.newCardHeader() .setTitle('Widget demonstration') .setSubtitle('Check out these widgets') .setImageStyle(CardService.ImageStyle.SQUARE) .setImageUrl('https://www.example.com/images/headerImage.png'), ) .addSection( CardService.newCardSection() .setHeader('Simple widgets') // optional .addWidget( CardService.newTextParagraph().setText( 'These widgets are display-only. ' + 'A text paragraph can have multiple lines and ' + 'formatting.', ), ) .addWidget( CardService.newImage().setImageUrl( 'https://www.example.com/images/mapsImage.png', ), ), ) .addCardAction( CardService.newCardAction().setText('Gmail').setOpenLink( CardService.newOpenLink().setUrl('https://mail.google.com/mail'), ), ) .build(); }
Sample for a Chat Apps card.
const cardHeader = CardService.newCardHeader() .setTitle('Sasha') .setSubtitle('Software Engineer') .setImageUrl( 'https://developers.google.com/chat/images/quickstart-app-avatar.png', ) .setImageStyle(CardService.ImageStyle.CIRCLE) .setImageAltText('Avatar for Sasha'); const cardSection = CardService.newCardSection() .setHeader('Contact Info') .setCollapsible(true) .setNumUncollapsibleWidgets(1) .addWidget( CardService.newDecoratedText() .setStartIcon( CardService.newIconImage().setIcon(CardService.Icon.EMAIL)) .setText('sasha@example.com'), ) .addWidget( CardService.newDecoratedText() .setStartIcon( CardService.newIconImage().setIcon(CardService.Icon.PERSON)) .setText('<font color="#80e27e">Online</font>'), ) .addWidget( CardService.newDecoratedText() .setStartIcon( CardService.newIconImage().setIcon(CardService.Icon.PHONE)) .setText('+1 (555) 555-1234'), ) .addWidget( CardService.newButtonSet() .addButton( CardService.newTextButton().setText('Share').setOpenLink( CardService.newOpenLink().setUrl( 'https://example.com/share'), ), ) .addButton( CardService.newTextButton() .setText('Edit') .setOnClickAction( CardService.newAction() .setFunctionName('goToView') .setParameters({viewType: 'EDIT'}), ), ), ); const card = CardService.newCardBuilder() .setHeader(cardHeader) .addSection(cardSection) .build();
