What is Google Hangouts Chat?

Google Hangouts Chat makes it easy for teams to be able to get their work done in one place. From direct messages to group conversations, Chat helps teams collaborate easily and efficiently.

How It Works

Messages are sent to Google Hangouts Chat chat rooms, making sure the right rooms are notified of alerts.
  • When an alert in PagerTree is opened/acknowledged/resolved/dropped, PagerTree will post a message to a room of your choice.
