# 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).
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## In Google Chat
|
|
|
|
Select a room and create a webhook:
|
|
|
|
1. Enter the room where you want to receive notifications from GitLab.
|
|
1. Open the room dropdown menu on the top-left and select **Manage webhooks**.
|
|
1. Enter the name for your webhook, for example "GitLab integration".
|
|
1. Optional. Add an avatar for your bot.
|
|
1. Select **Save**.
|
|
1. Copy the webhook URL.
|
|
|
|
For further details, see [the Google Chat documentation for configuring webhooks](https://developers.google.com/chat/how-tos/webhooks).
|
|
|
|
## In GitLab
|
|
|
|
Enable the Google Chat integration in GitLab:
|
|
|
|
1. In your project, go to **Settings > Integrations** and select **Google Chat**.
|
|
1. Scroll down to the end of the page where you find a **Webhook** field.
|
|
1. Enter the webhook URL you copied from Google Chat.
|
|
1. Select the events you want to be notified about in your Google Chat room.
|
|
1. Optional. Select **Test settings** to verify the connection.
|
|
1. Select **Save changes**.
|
|
|
|
To test the integration, make a change based on the events you selected and
|
|
see the notification in your Google Chat room.
