Send a message to a space
## Usage
```bash
gws chat +send --space <NAME> --text <TEXT>
```
## Flags
| Flag | Required | Default | Description |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `--space` | ✓ | — | Space name (e.g. spaces/AAAA...) |
| `--text` | ✓ | — | Message text (plain text) |
## Examples
```bash
gws chat +send --space spaces/AAAAxxxx --text 'Hello team!'
```
## Tips
- Use 'gws chat spaces list' to find space names.
- For cards or threaded replies, use the raw API instead.
