Google Chat integration
Get every HowlOps incident posted straight into a Google Chat space.
Coming soon. The Google Chat channel is built and its delivery works, but connecting it from the app is not enabled yet. The setup steps below are what the flow will look like once it goes live. We will lift this notice when the channel is available to connect.
What this brings you
If your team already lives in Google Chat, you don't want to be the person who has to remember to check a separate dashboard. Connect a Google Chat space and HowlOps posts a message there the moment a monitor goes down or an incident opens: what broke, how severe it is, and a direct link back to the monitor in HowlOps. No one has to context-switch to catch an outage.
Setup
- In Google Chat, open the space you want alerts posted to.
- Go to the space name > Apps & integrations > Webhooks > Add webhook.
- Name it something recognizable, like "HowlOps", and copy the generated webhook URL.
- In HowlOps, go to Settings > Notification channels > Add channel > Google Chat.
- Paste the webhook URL and save.
The webhook URL is specific to the space you created it in. If you want alerts in more than one space, create a webhook per space and add each as its own channel in HowlOps.
Trigger a test alert (pause and resume a monitor, or wait for the next check) to confirm the message shows up where you expect.
