If I have a skills account which has been created in 2025 do I have to change anything in my current account to align with the current changes made in the policies?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to access the lab “AppSheet to Google Chat using Webhooks from Automation Bots (GSP756)” on Google Cloud Skills Boost.

However, I’m unable to start the lab. The “Start Lab” button is either not working or I cannot proceed after clicking it.

I also realized that this lab was part of the April campaign, and now it’s May. So I’m not sure if:

  • The lab is no longer accessible after the campaign ends, or
  • There is some issue with my account or browser

I have already tried:

  • Refreshing the page
  • Logging in again

Could someone please clarify:

  1. Is this lab still accessible after the April campaign?
  2. Do I need credits/subscription to run it now?
  3. Or is there any other way to access it?

Thank you!

Help is needed. Thanks! Many people, including me, have reported that checks for Tasks 5 and 6 in the “Develop Serverless Apps with Firebase: Challenge Lab” (GSP344) cannot be passed, regardless of whether the steps are performed from the console or the shell.

Develop Serverless Apps with Firebase: Challenge Lab (GSP344) 20 minutes
https://www.skills.google/games/7172/labs/44422
https://www.skills.google/focuses/14677

E.g. People are talking about having issues with Tasks 5 and 6 in the comment section of a youtube video.

I have wasted my 5-6 hours trying to solve Task 5 and Task 6. Using every method.
I can see everything is working however the check box is not getting completed.

Ya, I found that problem too, my guess is the naming inconsistency of the repo path in the checker not mentioned in the lab, I had tried

rest-repo-api/frontend-staging
frontend-staging-repo/frontend-staging
frontend-staging/frontend-staging

all not working

Is there a way we could report the issues to the maintainers?
The lab was updated recently.

Manual Last Updated March 11, 2026
Lab Lst Tested March 11, 2026

I guess I had found the solution

Next the frontend-staging and frontend-production under frontend-repo in artifact registry instead of rest-api-repo.

Try it

Hey, I just tried creating “frontend-repo” and pushing and deploying the frontend images there. It works indeed—it’s brilliant that you were able to figure this out. Thanks a lot!

Hi, did you mean the lab checks have been updated and we don’t need to change our Bash script to pass all of them? (P.S. I just tried what @PharminG suggested and it works.)

They should have mentioned but I guess that is what seasoned developer handled their repo, I just kept trying
