I have a use scenario where I'm testing a bot in google hangout. To facilitate testing of multiple users, I'd like to create a series of other bots that replicate the functions of users. But this is all dependent on the bots in the room listening to one another. It also requires that I get the userid of the bots so they can name each other. In Google Scripts I can find no way to retrieve that (the rest API is not an option).
Any suggestions?
The information is documented, but I understand GCP docs aren't the easiest to navigate. According to the Event Format reference: "Only messages from "real", non-bot users are delivered to bots. A bot will never receive messages posted by itself or by a different bot."
