Action

An action that describes the behavior when the form is submitted. For example, you can invoke an Apps Script script to handle the form. If the action is triggered, the form values are sent to the server.

Available for Google Chat apps and Google Workspace Add-ons.

Fields
function	string A custom function to invoke when the containing element is clicked or otherwise activated. For example usage, see Read form data.
parameters[]	ActionParameter List of action parameters.
load_indicator	LoadIndicator Specifies the loading indicator that the action displays while making the call to the action.
persist_values	bool Indicates whether form values persist after the action. The default value is false. If true, form values remain after the action is triggered. To let the user make changes while the action is being processed, set LoadIndicator to NONE. For card messages in Chat apps, you must also set the action's ResponseType to UPDATE_MESSAGE and use the same card_id from the card that contained the action. If false, the form values are cleared when the action is triggered. To prevent the user from making changes while the action is being processed, set LoadIndicator to SPINNER.
interaction	Interaction Optional. Required when opening a dialog. What to do in response to an interaction with a user, such as a user clicking a button in a card message. If unspecified, the app responds by executing an action—like opening a link or running a function—as normal. By specifying an interaction, the app can respond in special interactive ways. For example, by setting interaction to OPEN_DIALOG, the app can open a dialog. When specified, a loading indicator isn't shown. If specified for an add-on, the entire card is stripped and nothing is shown in the client. Available for Google Chat apps and unavailable for Google Workspace Add-ons.
required_widgets[]	string Developer Preview: Available as part of the Google Workspace Developer Preview Program, which grants early access to certain features. Optional. Fill this list with the names of widgets that this Action needs for a valid submission. If the widgets listed here don't have a value when this Action is invoked, the form submission is aborted. Available for Google Chat apps and Google Workspace Add-ons.
all_widgets_are_required	bool Developer Preview: Available as part of the Google Workspace Developer Preview Program, which grants early access to certain features. Optional. If this is true, then all widgets are considered required by this action. Available for Google Chat apps and Google Workspace Add-ons.

ActionParameter

List of string parameters to supply when the action method is invoked. For example, consider three snooze buttons: snooze now, snooze one day, or snooze next week. You might use action method = snooze(), passing the snooze type and snooze time in the list of string parameters.

To learn more, see CommonEventObject.

Available for Google Chat apps and Google Workspace Add-ons.

Fields
key	string The name of the parameter for the action script.
value	string The value of the parameter.

Interaction

Optional. Required when opening a dialog.

What to do in response to an interaction with a user, such as a user clicking a button in a card message.

The value must be a float number between 0 and 1 based on the RGB color value, where 0 (0/255) represents the absence of color and 1 (255/255) represents the maximum intensity of the color. For example, the following sets the color to red at its maximum intensity: "color": { "red": 1, "green": 0, "blue": 0, } The alpha field is unavailable for stroke color.

Fields
text	string The text displayed inside the button.

For example, if the button color is set to blue, any text or icons in the button are set to white. To set the button color, specify a value for the red, green, and blue fields. The value must be a float number between 0 and 1 based on the RGB color value, where 0 (0/255) represents the absence of color and 1 (255/255) represents the maximum intensity of the color. For example, the following sets the color to red at its maximum intensity: "color": { "red": 1, "green": 0, "blue": 0, } The alpha field is unavailable for button color. If specified, this field is ignored.
on_click	OnClick Required. The action to perform when a user clicks the button, such as opening a hyperlink or running a custom function.
disabled	bool If true, the button is displayed in an inactive state and doesn't respond to user actions.
alt_text	string The alternative text that's used for accessibility. Set descriptive text that lets users know what the button does. For example, if a button opens a hyperlink, you might write: "Opens a new browser tab and navigates to the Google Chat developer documentation at https://developers.google.com/workspace/chat".

Columns

The Columns widget displays up to 2 columns in a card or dialog. You can add widgets to each column; the widgets appear in the order that they are specified. For an example in Google Chat apps, see Display cards and dialogs in columns.

The height of each column is determined by the taller column. For example, if the first column is taller than the second column, both columns have the height of the first column. Because each column can contain a different number of widgets, you can't define rows or align widgets between the columns.

Columns are displayed side-by-side. You can customize the width of each column using the HorizontalSizeStyle field. If the user's screen width is too narrow, the second column wraps below the first:

• On web, the second column wraps if the screen width is less than or equal to 480 pixels.
• On iOS devices, the second column wraps if the screen width is less than or equal to 300 pt.
• On Android devices, the second column wraps if the screen width is less than or equal to 320 dp.

To include more than two columns, or to use rows, use the Grid widget.

Available for Google Chat apps and Google Workspace Add-ons. The add-on UIs that support columns include:

• The dialog displayed when users open the add-on from an email draft.
• The dialog displayed when users open the add-on from the Add attachment menu in a Google Calendar event.
