+4. Select **JSON** and click **Create**
+5. Copy the entire JSON content as `GOOGLE_CHAT_CREDENTIALS`
+
+> **Note:** If your organization has the `iam.disableServiceAccountKeyCreation` constraint enabled, you need to relax it or add an exception for your project in **IAM & Admin** then **Organization Policies**.
+
+### 5. Configure Google Chat app

+2. Click **Configuration** and fill in:

+3. Click the space name then **Manage apps & integrations**
+4. Click **Add apps**, search for your app, and click **Add**
+
+## Pub/Sub for all messages (optional)
+
+By default, Google Chat only sends webhooks for @mentions. To receive all messages in a space, set up Workspace Events with Pub/Sub.
+
+```typescript
+createGoogleChatAdapter({
+  pubsubTopic: process.env.GOOGLE_CHAT_PUBSUB_TOPIC,
+  impersonateUser: process.env.GOOGLE_CHAT_IMPERSONATE_USER,
+});
+```
+
+`GOOGLE_CHAT_PUBSUB_TOPIC` and `GOOGLE_CHAT_IMPERSONATE_USER` are also auto-detected from env vars, so you can omit them from config if the env vars are set.
+
+### 1. Create Pub/Sub topic
+
+1. Go to **Pub/Sub** then **Topics**
+2. Click **Create Topic**
+3. Enter topic ID (e.g., `chat-events`)
+4. Uncheck **Add a default subscription**
+5. Click **Create**
+6. Copy the full topic name as `GOOGLE_CHAT_PUBSUB_TOPIC` (format: `projects/your-project-id/topics/chat-events`)
+
+### 2. Grant Chat service account access
+
+1. Go to your Pub/Sub topic
+2. Click **Permissions** tab
+3. Click **Add Principal**
+4. Enter `chat-api-push@system.gserviceaccount.com`
+5. Select role **Pub/Sub Publisher**
+6. Click **Save**
+
+### 3. Create push subscription
+
+1. Go to **Pub/Sub** then **Subscriptions**
+2. Click **Create Subscription**
+3. Select your topic
+4. Set **Delivery type** to Push
+5. Set **Endpoint URL** to `https://your-domain.com/api/webhooks/gchat`
+6. Click **Create**
+
+### 4. Enable domain-wide delegation
+
+Domain-wide delegation is required for creating Workspace Events subscriptions and initiating DMs.
+
+**Step 1 — Enable delegation on the service account:**
+
+1. Go to **IAM & Admin** then **Service Accounts**
+2. Click on your service account
+3. Check **Enable Google Workspace Domain-wide Delegation** and save
+4. Copy the **Client ID** (a numeric ID, not the email)
+
+**Step 2 — Authorize in Google Admin Console:**
+
+1. Go to [Google Admin Console](https://admin.google.com)
+2. Go to **Security** then **Access and data control** then **API controls**
+3. Click **Manage Domain Wide Delegation** then **Add new**
+4. Enter the numeric **Client ID** from Step 1
+5. Add OAuth scopes (comma-separated, on one line):
+   ```
+   https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.spaces.readonly,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.messages.readonly,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.spaces,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.spaces.create
+   ```
+6. Click **Authorize**
+
+**Step 3 — Set environment variable:**
+
+Set `GOOGLE_CHAT_IMPERSONATE_USER` to an admin user email in your domain (e.g., `admin@yourdomain.com`).
+
+## Configuration
+
+All options are auto-detected from environment variables when not provided.
+
+| Option | Required | Description |
+|--------|----------|-------------|
+| `credentials` | No* | Service account credentials JSON. Auto-detected from `GOOGLE_CHAT_CREDENTIALS` |
+| `useApplicationDefaultCredentials` | No | Use Application Default Credentials. Auto-detected from `GOOGLE_CHAT_USE_ADC` |
+| `pubsubTopic` | No | Pub/Sub topic for Workspace Events. Auto-detected from `GOOGLE_CHAT_PUBSUB_TOPIC` |
+| `impersonateUser` | No | User email for domain-wide delegation. Auto-detected from `GOOGLE_CHAT_IMPERSONATE_USER` |
+| `auth` | No | Custom auth object (advanced) |
+| `logger` | No | Logger instance (defaults to `ConsoleLogger("info")`) |
+
+*Either `credentials`, `GOOGLE_CHAT_CREDENTIALS` env var, `useApplicationDefaultCredentials`, or `GOOGLE_CHAT_USE_ADC=true` is required.
+
+## Environment variables
+
+```bash
+GOOGLE_CHAT_CREDENTIALS={"type":"service_account",...}
+
+# Optional: for receiving all messages
+GOOGLE_CHAT_PUBSUB_TOPIC=projects/your-project/topics/chat-events
+GOOGLE_CHAT_IMPERSONATE_USER=admin@yourdomain.com
+```

+
+## Limitations
+
+- **Typing indicators**: Not supported by Google Chat API. `startTyping()` is a no-op.
+- **Adding reactions**: The Google Chat API doesn't support service account (app) authentication for adding reactions. To use `addReaction()` or `removeReaction()`, you need domain-wide delegation with `impersonateUser` configured — but the reaction appears as coming from the impersonated user, not the bot.
+
+### Message history (`fetchMessages`)
+
+Fetching message history requires domain-wide delegation with the `impersonateUser` config option set. The impersonated user must have access to the spaces you want to read from. See the [Pub/Sub setup](#4-enable-domain-wide-delegation) above for configuring delegation and OAuth scopes.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No webhook received
+
+- Verify the App URL is correct in Google Chat configuration
+- Check that the Chat API is enabled
+- Ensure the service account has the necessary permissions
+
+### Pub/Sub not working
+
+- Verify `chat-api-push@system.gserviceaccount.com` has Pub/Sub Publisher role
+- Check that the push subscription URL is correct
+- Verify domain-wide delegation is configured with correct scopes
+- Check `GOOGLE_CHAT_IMPERSONATE_USER` is a valid admin email
+
+### "Permission denied" for Workspace Events
+
+- Ensure domain-wide delegation is configured
+- Verify the OAuth scopes are exactly as specified
+- Check that the impersonated user has access to the spaces
+
+### "Insufficient Permission" for DMs
+
+- DMs require domain-wide delegation with `chat.spaces` and `chat.spaces.create` scopes
+- Scope changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate
+
+### Button clicks not received
 
-Full setup instructions, configuration reference, and features at [chat-sdk.dev/docs/adapters/gchat](https://chat-sdk.dev/docs/adapters/gchat).
+- Verify **Interactive features** is enabled in the Google Chat app configuration
