Your Chat app can update the attached card in response to user interactions, like button clicks. When someone adds a link to their message, a chip appears which lets them know that a Chat app might preview the link.Īfter sending the message, the link is sent to the Chat app, which then generates and attaches the card to the user's message.Īlongside the link, the card provides additional information about the link, including interactive elements like buttons. Buttons on the card allow agents to take ownership of the case and change the status directly from the chat stream. Link previewing enables the space’s resident Chat app, Case-y, to attach a card showing assignee, status, and subject whenever someone shares a case link. Likewise, if someone wants to take ownership of a case or change the status, then they need to open the link. Agents frequently share links to customer service cases in the Chat space, and each time they do their colleagues must open the case link to see details like assignee, status, and subject.

Google has previously said that Chat is a better way for users to connect with others. Chat users can also send GIFs and use to notify someone in the group. While Chat can never fully replace Hangouts, it provides additional features for group conversations as well as security and collaboration tools like Spaces and editing Docs, Slides or Sheets side-by-side with other users. The messaging service had 5 billion downloads on the Google Play Store. Hangouts started as a feature on Google+ before becoming a standalone app. Users have until January 2023 to keep their Hangouts data.

The company notes that users should use Google Takeout to download and save a copy of their data. While most of the messages and contacts will be automatically transferred over, all of the data won’t migrate to Google Chat. The company announced in June 2022 that it would prompt Hangout users to move to Chat in Gmail or the app. Hangouts had an arguably slow death, with Google allowing users to migrate over to Chat in 2021.
