Send Bank of Canada reports to Google Chat
Load Bank of Canada into your data warehouse first, link it to the rest of your data with SQL keys, then post the daily rate, ready for the Chat space that restates your orders. The message comes from your source of truth, not from an API call that can break.

Google ChatDateLabelRateDaily 09:00The Google Chat space that restates your orders works from yesterday's rate, because someone must look it up and post it.
Paste this into your AI assistant. It loads Bank of Canada rates into your data warehouse with OWOX Data Marts and posts the daily rate to Google Chat from that Data Mart on a schedule.

Bank of Canada Endpoints
1 Bank of Canada endpoints you can import. Each lands in its own table in your data warehouse.
Why Bank of Canada does not go straight to Google Chat
Bank of Canada publishes the official rate for each currency, not what that rate does to your revenue. A message built straight from the source puts the source's own numbers in the space and does not tie them to the rest of the business reliably, at scale or business-ready, so the join happens in a warehouse first.
- The rate arrives by date and label, with no order or invoice to apply it to
- The data analyst links the tables by SQL keys and controls what a message may say
- The space reads one scheduled message instead of several tabs and an export

In your data warehouse the model puts the official rate table beside orders and invoices, joined by date and by currency code plus CAD (a EUR order matches EURCAD). Pick an industry to see the shape of its model.
- Every rate is quoted against the Canadian dollar, so CAD is the natural reporting basis
- Orders and invoices join on date and their currency code plus CAD, not a rate typed into a cell
- The measures, such as settled_revenue, are defined once

Add an incoming webhook in the Chat space (Apps & integrations, Add webhooks), paste its URL into a Google Chat destination in OWOX, and attach a report of the Bank of Canada Data Mart. The message is a Markdown template.
- The message is a card with the subject, the Data Mart name, your text and a link back to the report
- The table carries date, label and rate
- Tables arrive as monospace blocks, and a long report is split into numbered parts

Write the reading under the table in the template, or let an Insight on the same Data Mart write it. Then add a trigger on the Triggers tab: OWOX runs the Data Mart first and checks the sending condition.
- Send always, or only when the result is not empty, so a quiet week stays quiet
- The reading comes from the report's fields and adds no cause the data does not show
- One space can receive several reports, each with its own trigger
