Google API via webhook

Hi all, I'm working on Google Chat API. Using this example. Successfully posted into my Google Chat Room (via webhook) but failed to show the card. 
https://github.com/muenzpraeger/salesforce-google-hangouts-chat-apex-webhook
Anyone knows what I'm missing?

global class GoogleChatWebhook {

        req.setEndpoint(webhookUrl);
        req.setMethod('POST');
        req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json;charset=UTF-8');
        
        String url = System.Url.getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm();
        String accountUrl = url + '/lightning/r/Account/' + accountId + '/view'; // Using the new URL format!
        
        String message = '{"cards":[{"header":{"title":"Salesforce Account alert","subtitle":"via Webhooks"},"sections":[{"widgets":[{"keyValue":{"topLabel":"Account No.","content":"' + accountNo + '"}},{"keyValue":{"topLabel":"Account Name","content":"' + accountName + '"}}]},{"widgets":[{"buttons":[{"textButton":{"text":"Open Account record","onClick":{"openLink":{"url":"' + accountUrl + '"}}}}]}]}]}]}';
        
        req.setBody(message);
        system.debug(message);

        Http http = new Http();
        HttpResponse res = http.send(req);
        system.debug(res);
    }
    
}

Account ID is not given on the time when it's sent via webhook. This breaks the cards. I manually put the AccountNo 1111 as placeholder, then the card is properly made. This is, I guess, the AccountNumber is only given when the record is saved, but the number is not ready when it's sent via webhook.
