The Google Chat app is the same bot as the Slack one, for a rescue whose team uses Google Workspace. Once it is connected:
  • Ask it in a direct message with the app, or with /rescue in a space: an animal, your tasks, who is on shift, what is waiting. It answers as you, and in a space only you see the answer.
  • Your notifications, in your direct message with the app, for each person who turns it on.

​
Connect it

1

Take a code

In RescueConsole, open Settings → Advanced & security → Integrations. Under Google Chat, press Take a code. Only an organization admin can. It works once, for fifteen minutes.
2

Send it to the app

In Google Chat, start a chat with the RescueConsole app and send connect and the code, for example connect K7QX2MPA. The app says which rescue it now answers for.
A Google Workspace answers for one rescue. The app works for people with a Google Workspace account, not a personal Gmail one.

​
Ask it

It knows who you are by your Google Workspace email address, which must be the one you sign in to RescueConsole with, and it answers with your own role: see who is asking.

​
Your notifications in Google Chat

On My account, tick Send my notifications to me in Google Chat. It is off until you turn it on. The app sends them to your direct message with it, so send it a message first (“help” will do) if you never have.

​
Disconnect

Press Disconnect on the Integrations page. The app stops answering for your rescue and nobody gets notifications there.

​
The demo

The demo cannot be connected to Google Chat: everybody shares its sign-in, and the app would answer for the demo in a real Workspace.
