Send Open Exchange Rates reports to Google Chat
Load Open Exchange Rates into your data warehouse first, link it to the rest of your data with SQL keys, then post the daily rate for each currency where finance and trading follow it. The message comes from your source of truth, not from an API call that can break.

Paste this into your AI assistant. It keeps Open Exchange Rates in a Data Mart in your data warehouse and posts the daily rate for each currency to the Google Chat space through a webhook.

The task: post today's Open Exchange Rates rate for each currency we trade in to our finance Google Chat space every morning, and note any move larger than 1% since yesterday.

Open Exchange Rates Endpoints
1 Open Exchange Rates endpoints you can import. Each lands in its own table in your data warehouse.
Why Open Exchange Rates does not go straight to Google Chat
Open Exchange Rates quotes a rate per currency and day, not the revenue you earned at that rate. 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.
- A rate is quoted by base, currency and date, with no order or deposit 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 joins the rate table to orders and invoices by date and currency, for every currency code you load. Pick an industry to see the shape of its model.
- Every report converts with the same rate
- Orders and invoices join by SQL keys, 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 Open Exchange Rates 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, currency, rate and base
- 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
