# Create a space for an existing alert in Google Chat
{% hint style="info" %}
**Connect your Google Workspace with ilert first**
Before you proceed, please make sure that a super administrator has admin-installed the ilert app for your Google Workspace ([Install Marketplace apps for your organization - Google Workspace Admin Help](https://support.google.com/a/answer/172482))
{% endhint %}
Our Google Chat connector allows you to create a space for an existing alert in Google Chat, making it even easier for your team to discuss incidents in a more isolated environment.
## Create a Google Chat space
1. On the alert list, navigate to the desired alert for which you want to create a space, and click **Create Google Chat space**.
2. Enter a space name and click **Create Google Chat space**.
3. You can now view the created space by clicking on **View Google Chat space**.
4. Responders are invited to the space and can see the alert.
## **Detaching a Google Chat space from an alert**
1. On the alert list, navigate to the desired alert for which you want to detach a space.
2. Hover over the **View Google Chat space** area and click on the small “x”.
3. After detaching an alert from a space, a message will be sent to the detached space.
## **Troubleshooting**
### Space creation requires re-authorization
If you see an error that says, *“Creating a channel is a new feature, which requires additional permissions, please re-authorize your bot in your connector settings.”* You have to re-authorize the ilert app for your Google Workspace as a super administrator.
1. Go to [Apps > Google Workspace Marketplace apps > Apps list](https://admin.google.com/ac/apps/gmail/marketplace/domaininstall).
2. Review and grant the unauthorized scopes. If you cannot grant access, please uninstall and reinstall the app.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.ilert.com/chatops/google-chat/create-a-space-for-an-existing-alert-in-google-chat.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
