Google Chat integration (FREE)

Integrate your project to send notifications from GitLab to a room of your choice in Google Chat (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:
