HangoutsChat - Cannot add user into a space about google-api-php-client-services HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @lekiend
The error that you have mentioned seems like an incorrect people resource name.

I tried the code snippet as such:

function addPersonInExistingHangoutSpace($client) {
    $userId = ""; // people resource id like 100000033......
    $service = new HangoutsChat($client);
    $space = new Google\Service\HangoutsChat\Space(["displayName" => "My space", "spaceType" => "SPACE"]);
    $membership1 = new Google\Service\HangoutsChat\Membership(["member" => ["name" => "users/$userId", "type" => "HUMAN"]] );
    $SetUpSpaceRequest = new Google\Service\HangoutsChat\SetUpSpaceRequest(["space" => $space, "memberships" => [$membership1]]);
    $space = $service->spaces->setup( $SetUpSpaceRequest );
}

This created the space and added the person to space.

One thing to note here is that the user is in my contacts. Please confirm if this is the case or not.

Hello,

In the first part of my code, $resourceName is returned correctly. I just replace "people" with "users" to fit the documentation.
Anyway, I discover that it is possible only with internal users. It is not possible to use the Chat API with external users.

Because of those restrictions, I moved to Telegram chat with less restrictions and a lot easier to use.

Regards
