系統會忽略外掛程式資訊清單 (addons.common) 中的所有常見設定。如要設定外掛程式在 Chat 中運作，請啟用並設定 Chat API。如需步驟，請參閱「設定 Google Chat 應用程式」。
如要在 Chat 中部署及測試外掛程式，您必須使用 Chat API 的「瀏覽權限」設定。系統會忽略您在 Google Workspace Marketplace SDK 中設定的任何顯示或測試設定。如要在 Chat 中部署外掛程式的測試版本，請參閱 Chat API 說明文件中的「測試 Google Chat 應用程式的互動功能」。
如果外掛程式已發布到 Google Workspace Marketplace，您就無法儲存對 Google Chat API 設定所做的任何變更草稿。更新 Chat API 設定後，所有現有使用者都能立即使用更新後的 Chat 應用程式。如要更新 Marketplace 產品資訊，可以先建立草稿，再提交變更。

To interact with users, Chat apps\ncan do the following:\n\n- [Send messages](/workspace/add-ons/chat/send-messages) that contain text, cards, and interactive UI elements.\n- Respond to [quick commands](/workspace/add-ons/chat/quick-commands).\n- Respond to [slash commands](/workspace/add-ons/chat/slash-commands).\n- Open [dialogs](/workspace/add-ons/chat/dialogs) to help users complete multi-step processes, like filling in form data.\n- [Preview links](/workspace/add-ons/chat/preview-links) in messages by attaching cards with helpful information that let users take action directly from the conversation.\n\nGet started\n-----------\n\nTo start building Google Workspace add-ons that work in Chat, see the\nfollowing documentation:\n\n- Try a quickstart to build a basic Chat app using [Google Apps Script](/workspace/add-ons/chat/quickstart-apps-script) or an [HTTP service](/workspace/add-ons/chat/quickstart-http).\n- [Configure a Chat app](/workspace/add-ons/chat/configure) and its interactive features using the Chat API.\n- Learn about the ways you can [build Chat interfaces](/workspace/add-ons/chat/build) using add-on triggers, actions, and event objects.\n\nLimitations and known issues\n----------------------------\n\n| **Note:** This documentation explains how to build a Chat app as a Google Workspace add-on. You can also build Chat apps using *interaction events* . To learn about each framework and its available features, see [Build an interactive Google Chat app](/workspace/chat/interact-users-overview) in the Google Chat API documentation.\n\nThe following Chat and add-on features\nare unavailable:\n\n- The Chat app architectures [Dialogflow](/workspace/chat/build-dialogflow-chat-app-natural-language), [Pub/Sub](/workspace/chat/quickstart/pub-sub), and [AppSheet](https://support.google.com/appsheet/answer/12923581) are unavailable. Instead, you must build the Chat app using Apps Script or an HTTP service.\n- Apps Script's [Card Service](/apps-script/reference/card-service). To use [Chat actions](/workspace/add-ons/chat/build#actions) and build cards, return JSON objects instead. For examples, see [Open interactive dialogs](/workspace/add-ons/chat/dialogs) and [Preview links](/workspace/add-ons/chat/preview-links).\n- Custom authorization cards. To authenticate and grant authorization to your service from Chat, the Chat app must return a [basic authorization card](/workspace/add-ons/guides/connect-third-party-service#basic-auth-card).\n- [Add-on homepages](/workspace/add-ons/concepts/homepages) in the Chat sidebar. If you've configured a [homepage trigger](/workspace/add-ons/concepts/workspace-triggers) for your add-on, the homepage only appears in the sidebar of the other Google Workspace applications that your add-on extends.\n- [Chat app homepages](/workspace/chat/send-app-home-card-message), which appear in the **Home** tab of direct messages with the Chat app.\n\nIf you're updating an existing Google Workspace add-on, consider the following\n[configuration requirements](/workspace/add-ons/chat/configure#considerations)\nfor Chat apps:\n\n- The [Google Workspace Marketplace installation settings](/workspace/marketplace/enable-configure-sdk#installation-settings) must permit both individuals and Google Workspace administrators to install the add-on.\n- Any common configuration settings in the add-on's [manifest](/workspace/add-ons/concepts/workspace-manifests) (`addons.common`) are ignored in Chat. To configure the add-on to work in Chat, you must enable and configure the Chat API. For steps, see [Configure a Google Chat app](/workspace/add-ons/chat/configure).\n- To deploy and test an add-on in Chat, you must use the Chat API's **Visibility** setting. Any visibility or testing settings that you've configured in the Google Workspace Marketplace SDK are ignored. To deploy a test version of the add-on in Chat, see [Test interactive features for Google Chat apps](/workspace/chat/test-interactive-features) in the Chat API documentation.\n- If your add-ons is published to the Google Workspace Marketplace, you can't save a draft of any changes to the [Google Chat API configuration settings](/workspace/add-ons/chat/configure). When you update Chat API configuration settings, the updated Chat app is immediately available to all existing users. To update your Marketplace listing, you can [create a draft](/workspace/marketplace/manage-app-listing#draft-app-listing) before submitting any changes.\n\nRelated topics\n--------------\n\n- [Google Chat API documentation overview](/workspace/chat/overview)"]]
