Why connect Google Chat to Bricks?

Google Chat is the messaging and collaboration platform for GSuite users. Chat one to one with colleagues or brainstorm with your team in a collaborative way.

Bricks integrates with Google Chat, so you can keep all the important information in one place by automatically sending notifications about your project's new tasks, new comments, or a task completed. Letting your team get information, take quick action, and stay notified without leaving the conversation.
