Google Workspace Events: Subscribe to Workspace events and stream them as NDJSON.
— the description by Google Workspace

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The gws-events-subscribe skill enables users to subscribe to specific Google Workspace events and stream the resulting data in NDJSON format. It leverages Google Cloud Pub/Sub infrastructure to manage event delivery and provides options for resource cleanup, batch processing, and file-based output.

What it does

  • Subscribes to Google Workspace resource events
  • Streams event data in NDJSON format
  • Supports integration with Google Cloud Pub/Sub
  • Allows writing events to individual JSON files
  • Provides options for automated resource cleanup
  • Configures polling intervals and batch message limits

When to use it

  • When you need to capture and process Google Workspace activity
  • When integrating Workspace events into a data pipeline
  • When you need to export event logs to local storage
  • When you want to manage Pub/Sub subscriptions for Workspace resources

Advantages

  • Flexible output options including stream or file-based storage
  • Configurable polling and batching parameters
  • Automated resource management with cleanup flags
  • Supports both new and existing Pub/Sub subscriptions

Usage examples

“Subscribe to chat message events for a specific space.”
The agent initiates a subscription to the specified Google Chat space and streams incoming events as NDJSON.
“Capture Workspace events and save them to a directory.”
The agent creates a subscription and writes each received event as a separate JSON file in the designated output directory.
