  2. From the chat room menu, select Configure Webhooks.
  3. Click on ADD WEBHOOK and fill in the name of the bot that will post the messages. Optionally define avatar.
  4. Click SAVE and copy the Webhook URL of your webhook.

On GitLab

When you have the Webhook URL for your Hangouts Chat room webhook, you can set up the GitLab service.

  1. Navigate to the Integrations page in your project's settings, i.e. Project > Settings > Integrations.
  2. Select the Hangouts Chat project service to configure it.
  3. Check the Active checkbox to turn on the service.
  4. Check the checkboxes corresponding to the GitLab events you want to receive.
  5. Paste the Webhook URL that you copied from the Hangouts Chat configuration step.
  6. Configure the remaining options and click Save changes.

Your Hangouts Chat room will now start receiving GitLab event notifications as configured.
