# Google Workspace Integration

Integrate ilert with Google Chat to receive real-time alert notifications and respond to incidents directly within your team's conversation spaces.

## Integration Options

### [Google Chat App](https://docs.ilert.com/chatops/google-chat/google-chat-app) (Recommended)

The native Google Chat app provides the richest integration experience:

* **Rich alert cards** with status, priority, and action buttons
* **One-click actions** - Accept, Reroute, or Resolve alerts without leaving chat
* **Slash commands** - Quick access to help and connection management
* **Automatic updates** - See alert status changes in real-time

### [Google Chat Webhooks](https://github.com/iLert/docs/blob/master/product-docs/chatops/google-chat/google-chat-webhooks.md)

A lightweight alternative for organizations that cannot grant app permissions:

* Simple webhook-based notifications
* No OAuth permissions required
* Basic alert information only
