What You Can Do with Google Chat API

By using the Google Chat API in conjunction with external application APIs, you can automatically send notifications to Google Chat when information in external applications is updated or added.
This allows the entire team to quickly grasp the situation as updates and additions are promptly notified in Google Chat, potentially improving work efficiency and speeding up decision-making.
Additionally, centralizing notifications can reduce the risk of missing important information.

Furthermore, by leveraging the Google Chat API and AI tools, you can automatically translate messages posted in the chat tool and post the translated version to Google Chat.
Automatic translation of messages enables quick and accurate information sharing.
This facilitates smooth communication among team members who speak different languages, potentially improving work efficiency.
Moreover, eliminating the need for manual translation can also enhance productivity.

Additionally, by integrating the Google Chat API with external app APIs, you can automatically record and update chat interactions in external apps.
This prevents duplicate data entry and enables accurate data management, potentially improving efficiency in task management and customer service while reducing human error.
Utilizing the Google Chat API can help optimize communication and improve work efficiency.

Master the Google Chat API Using Yoom Templates!

Yoom offers many flowbot templates, allowing you to easily use various flowbots with just a click.

The details of flowbots are introduced in the following video.


From here, we will introduce the templates prepared for actual use cases and recommended professions.

Examples of Automation Achievable with Google Chat API

Yoom allows integration with various services, and templates corresponding to each service are also available.
Utilize templates that can be linked with the services you usually use to automate Google Chat!

1. Notify When Information is Updated or Added

By using the Google Chat API and external application APIs, you can automatically send notifications to Google Chat when information in external applications is updated or added.
This eliminates the need to confirm action execution each time and removes the need for manual notification operations to Google Chat, potentially improving work efficiency.
Additionally, it prevents human errors such as incorrect input or omissions, enhancing information accuracy.
Furthermore, it enables quick sharing of important information, potentially strengthening team collaboration.
For example, in the sales department, whenever new lead information is added to kintone, a notification can be sent to the sales team in Google Chat.
This ensures that business opportunities are not missed, and quick responses are expected.

Notifications can be sent for actions other than registration and updates.

2. Translate

By utilizing the Google Chat API and AI systems, messages posted in chat tools can be automatically translated and the translated version can be posted to Google Chat via the chat tool's API.
This allows for smooth communication between multilingual teams and is expected to facilitate seamless responses in international projects.
For example, it is possible to translate an English message posted by a member of an overseas office on Slack into Japanese and automatically share it on Google Chat.
The headquarters team can quickly grasp the latest local information, enabling smooth responses that transcend language barriers.

It is also possible to translate messages posted on Google Chat and notify another chat tool.

You can translate the email text and send a notification to Google Chat.

3. Register and Update Post Content

By combining the Google Chat API with an external application's API, interactions in Google Chat can be automatically recorded and updated in the external application.
This reduces manual work, enables accurate data management, and is expected to improve operational efficiency.
For example, in the HR department, automatically registering attendance reported in Google Chat to Google Sheets allows for speedy data updates, significantly reducing the burden of management tasks.
Additionally, centralizing data offers the advantage of easier verification and analysis.

The person who wrote this article
r.suzuki
I came across Yoom when I was searching for ways to improve work efficiency on a daily basis at a small and medium-sized enterprise in a region where human resources are limited. I was casually thinking that it would be nice if this were the case, and by introducing Yoom, we can make it so much more efficient! I'm moved. Even though I have no knowledge or experience with systems or programming, my work has changed drastically, so I'm writing that I hope I can share it with many people who feel the same way.
