Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Google Chat, Google Groups, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.

Test the Scenario

Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Google Chat and Google Groups integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Chat and Google Groups (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Google Chat and Google Groups

Google Chat + Google Groups + Google Sheets: When a new message is posted in Google Chat, it's added to a Google Group for archiving. A summary of the discussion is then added as a new row in Google Sheets for future reference.

Google Groups + Google Chat + Google Calendar: When a new member is added to a Google Group (signifying consensus), a Google Calendar event is created. Participants are then notified about the scheduled event via Google Chat.
