Google Chat now has powerful IFTTT and UKG Flow integrations, allowing you to set up almost any kind of automation, whether you're using Google Workspace or a personal account.
IFTTT now enables users to link Google Chat with over 1,000 popular apps, and as detailed in the blog post, UKG Flow brings UKG Pro WFM capabilities directly into Chat, making it easily accessible for employees.
IFTTT stands for “If This, Then That” and is a platform that allows you to create custom automations that run when certain events occur.
IFTTT's main function in Google Chat is to allow users to create custom workflows and seamlessly automate mundane tasks, and with access to over 1,000 apps, according to Google, it makes Chat much more efficient and personalized.
For example, you can send automated welcome messages to new Space members, trigger alerts when files are added to cloud storage like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box, and instantly post Discord, X, and Facebook tags to Spaces to track social media mentions.
For your organization, this means things run smoother and productivity increases: automating routine tasks like welcome messages becomes easier.
To get started with IFTTT, simply visit the Google Chat integration page and sign in with your Google account. It's available now to Google Workspace users, Workspace Individual subscribers, and anyone with a personal Google account.
Google Chat is also supported by UKG Flow, and once the rollout begins, account administrators will need to first install the app before it becomes available across their organization.
With support for UKG Flow, users can now handle tasks like logging in, clocking in and out, and requesting time off directly within Google Chat.
These new integrations streamline tasks and eliminate the need to jump between different apps, making your job easier.
