Connect StatusGator to Google Chat
You can connect StatusGator to Google Chat to receive real-time service status updates directly in your Google Chat spaces.
Note: For this initial release of our Google Chat integration, webhooks must be enabled across all organizational units; make sure your Google Admin has “Allow users to add and use incoming webhooks” set to On, following Google’s tutorial, and if this setting cannot be enabled in your organization, please let us know.
Set up the integration
- Open Google Chat and go to the space where you want to receive updates.
- Click the space name, then select Apps & Integrations → Webhooks.
- Create a new Incoming Webhook.
- Copy the webhook URL provided by Google Chat.
- Go to your StatusGator board.
- Navigate to Integrations → Chat and click Add next to Google Chat.
- Paste the webhook URL into the configuration field.
- Save your settings and send a test notification to confirm everything is working.
That’s it — your board is now connected to Google Chat, and updates will appear directly in your chosen space.
Features
Once connected, StatusGator delivers essential alerts right into Google Chat:
- Real-time notifications – receive instant updates when one of your monitored services experiences an outage, degradation, or scheduled maintenance.
- Early Warning Signals – get alerts about potential problems before they are published on official status pages.
Manage multiple boards
Each board in StatusGator can be connected to one Google Chat space. If you’d like different alerts to go to different spaces (for example, one for Support and another for Engineering), create an additional board in StatusGator and connect it to another Google Chat space using its own webhook URL.
Reconnect or change Google Chat spaces
- Change space – create a new webhook in Google Chat and update the integration settings in StatusGator with the new URL.
- Remove integration from one board – go to the board’s Integrations page in StatusGator and click Remove integration.
- Reconnect to Google Chat – re-create the webhook in your chosen space, copy the new URL, and re-add it in StatusGator.
