# Google Chat integration **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
Integrate your project to send notifications from GitLab to a
|
|
room of your choice in [Google Chat](https://chat.google.com/) (former Google
|
|
Hangouts).
|
|
|
|
## Integration workflow
|
|
|
|
To enable this integration, first you need to create a webhook for the room in
|
|
Google Chat where you want to receive the notifications from your project.
|
|
|
|
After that, enable the integration in GitLab and choose the events you want to
|
|
be notified about in your Google Chat room.
|
|
|
|
For every selected event in your project, GitLab acts like a bot sending
|
|
notifications to Google Chat:
