Google Chat is a team messaging platform built into Google Workspace.
What you can automate with Google Chat
Google Chat is a team messaging platform built into Google Workspace. It provides direct messaging, group conversations, and Spaces (persistent chat rooms organised by topic or project). For organisations already using Gmail and Google Workspace, Google Chat offers a communication layer that integrates natively with Google Drive, Meet, Calendar, and other Workspace tools. The real power of Google Chat for business operations comes from its bot and webhook capabilities. Teams can receive automated notifications about system events, approve requests directly from chat messages, query databases through chat commands, and trigger workflows without leaving the conversation. This turns Google Chat from a simple messaging app into an operational control centre. At Osher, we build Google Chat integrations that bring your business data and workflows directly into your team’s conversations. We create custom bots that post alerts from your monitoring systems, interactive cards that let managers approve purchase orders or leave requests, and webhook connections that notify channels when CRM deals close or support tickets escalate. Our robotic process automation team designs these chat-based workflows to reduce context switching and keep your team focused on the conversation rather than jumping between tabs and tools.

Common questions about how Google Chat consultants can help with integration and implementation
How it works
Implementing Google Chat
Step 1
Identify notification and workflow needs
We review which business events your team needs to know about in real time and which actions they should be able to take directly from chat.
Step 2
Set up Google Chat API access
We configure a Google Cloud project with the Chat API enabled and create a service account with the appropriate permissions for bot and webhook access.
Step 3
Design chat workflows
We map out which Spaces or direct messages receive which notifications, and design interactive card layouts for approval and action workflows.
Step 4
Build bots and webhooks
We create custom Chat bots and incoming webhook connections using n8n, handling message formatting, interactive responses, and error notifications.
Step 5
Connect to external systems
We wire the Chat bots to your CRM, support desk, monitoring tools, and other platforms so events from those systems appear in the right channels.
Step 6
Test and roll out
We test all chat integrations with your team, refine message formatting and notification frequency, and roll out to the full organisation.
