How to connect Google Chat and Microsoft Outlook
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Chat and Microsoft Outlook
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step

To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Chat or Microsoft Outlook, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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