Benefits and Examples of Integrating Google Chat with Data Extraction Features

Benefit 1: Direct Task Registration from Conversations!

By registering conversations from Google Chat as tasks in Asana, you can significantly reduce the risk of missing information and the hassle of inputting data.

For example, when a team handling client interactions shares customer requests or inquiries on Google Chat, the content can be immediately registered as tasks in Asana. Using this system, there's no need to later consolidate information recorded in notes or individual files into Asana.

Moreover, since you can refer to the chat history when registering tasks, you can reflect necessary background information and instructions as they are, preventing any omissions in work. This integration of Google Chat and Asana is a powerful means of centralizing information management by converting conversations directly into tasks. This allows you to set up an environment where daily interactions can immediately lead to the next action, thus streamlining the workflow.

Benefit 2: Instantly Communicate Priorities to Everyone!

By using Google Chat to share task content and priorities, you can efficiently share the recognition of urgent tasks. In situations where urgent action is needed, sharing the Asana task link via Google Chat allows everyone to immediately understand the content.

This method eliminates the need for emails or additional explanations, preventing misunderstandings among members. For instance, if you want to prioritize a task responding to customer requests, sharing it with detailed information from Asana via Google Chat allows everyone to quickly recognize which task is the top priority.

Furthermore, this system not only helps the person in charge to immediately start working on the task but also clearly communicates the priority to other members, thus improving the overall progress of tasks. Especially in projects where task reordering frequently occurs, this integration becomes an essential tool to keep operations smooth.

Benefit 3: Share the Latest Information Across the Team!

By leveraging the integration of Google Chat and Asana, the entire team can share the latest information on task creation. In this flow, registering tasks from conversations in Google Chat prevents information from being scattered and centralizes business information within Asana.

For example, if a message like "Please register this customer inquiry as a response task" is posted on Google Chat, the flow automatically registers it as a task in Asana. As a result, all tasks are consolidated within Asana, allowing members other than the registrant to grasp the latest task status just by checking Asana.

Since task updates and progress management are centralized in Asana, the entire team naturally shares the latest information using Asana without needing to send individual notifications. This allows you to reflect Google Chat interactions into Asana without waste, preventing project stagnation.

How to Create a Flow Utilizing Data Extraction Features by Integrating Google Chat and Asana

From here, we will proceed with setting up the flow using Yoom. This flow involves "adding content posted on Google Chat to Asana."

The general flow of the setup is as follows. - **Integrate Yoom with your app** - **Copy the template** - **Detailed flow settings for Google Chat and Asana** - **Turn on the trigger** There are no difficult settings that require programming knowledge. Please note that this flow uses AI operations (data extraction). AI operations are available only on some paid plans. If your plan is not eligible, the operation of the flow bot you have set will result in an error, so please be careful. There is a two-week free trial for paid plans, during which you can use restricted apps and AI operations. [What is Yoom] **Step 1: Integrate with My Apps** First, let's integrate Yoom with the app you are using. After logging into Yoom, click "+ New Connection" from "My Apps" in the left menu. When the "New App Connection" window appears, search for each app. Google Chat Integration with My Apps To integrate Google Chat with My Apps, you need administrator privileges on Google Cloud Platform. After logging into Google Cloud Platform, create a new project and enter the project name, etc. Once the project is created, select "API and Services > Library" from the left menu. Search for Google Chat from the [API Library](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library?hl=ja). When you find the Google Chat API, click "Enable" to configure the settings. For detailed configuration settings, please refer to the following link: [How to Register My App for Google Chat (OAuth)](https://intercom.help/yoom/ja/articles/9445328-google-chat-oauth-%E3%81%AE%E3%83%9E%E3%82%A4%E3%82%A2%E3%83%97%E3%83%AA%E7%99%BB%E9%8C%B2%E6%96%B9%E6%B3%95). **Asana Integration with My Apps** When you search for Asana from the new app connection, you will be prompted to sign in. Continue signing in and click "Next" to log in. Once logged in, you will be asked to confirm granting permissions to Yoom, so click "Allow." Once allowed, the integration with Yoom is complete. Make sure Google Chat and Asana are displayed in the My Apps list. Now the preparation is complete. Copy the template from the banner below and start setting it up. Once copied, please rename the template title to something easy to understand.

Step 2: Set Up App Trigger

First, set up Google Chat with "When a message is sent to the space".
On the first page, the Google Chat account information linked with My App is reflected.

You can change the title, so please proceed to the next step after making any necessary changes.
On the next page, set the trigger interval.

The trigger interval can be selected from 5 to 60 minutes, but please note that the selectable time varies depending on the plan.
Once input is complete, send a test message in Google Chat and click "Test".

If the test is successful, values will be reflected in the "Output" section.

In practice, specific values such as the message content sent in the test and creation date are reflected next to each item in the above image.
Once confirmed, click "Save".

This output is obtained each time a message is sent in Google Chat, and the values change accordingly.
Let's proceed to the next setting to notify Asana of these dynamic values.

Step 3: Set Up Text Data Extraction

Next is "Extract Data from Text".

First, set up the action.
On this screen, you can only modify the title, so proceed to the next step as is.

On the next screen, set up for data extraction.

Basically, the text to be extracted is only the message content from Google Chat, so select it from the output.

Once set, click "Test" to verify if the message content from Google Chat is correctly read.


If the test is successful and the summary of the message content is obtained next to the output "Task Name", click "Save" to complete the data retrieval setup.

Step 4: Set Up Task Addition

The final setup is "Add Task".
On the first page, verify account information and modify the title as with Google Chat, then proceed to the next step.

Next, set the details of the task to be added.

Each item reflects the output.

Task Name: Output obtained in the "Extract Data" flow (summarized task name)
Task Description: Message content sent to Google Chat

After selecting the Project ID and Section ID, click "Test" to check for any errors.
If the test is successful, click "Save" to complete all settings.

Finally, turn on the trigger to activate the flow.

With this, tasks are automatically added to Asana from messages posted in Google Chat.
