    Article summary

    Google has introduced Hangouts Chat as a team messaging platform within G Suite. It allows teams to communicate, share content, and integrate third-party tools like Zendesk, Asana, and Box. Now, Dialpad can be integrated into Hangouts Chat as well. Users can add the Dialpad bot from the Hangouts sidebar and interact with it one-on-one or in a room. The Dialpad bot enables users to send text messages, make calls, start conferences, turn on/off do not disturb mode, and switch between on duty and off duty status. For those already using Dialpad Meetings, the UberConference bot can be used to share conference invites with groups.

    Google Hangouts Chat is Google's latest venture into bridging the communication gap between teams. Built for the way you work, it's a new approach to team messaging.

    G Suite teams can message, share content, and integrate third-party integrations with tools like Zendesk, Asana, and Box. 

    And now you can integrate Dialpad right inside Hangouts Chat. 

    Add Dialpad & Dialpad Meetings Bots

    To get started, you'll need to search for and add the @Dialpad bot from your Hangouts sidebar.

    If you're using both first and last name in your commands, make sure to use a colon after the last name.

    CALLS
