    Google Hangouts Online account requirements

    The Google Hangouts spoke requires a custom app that you create in Google G Suite.

    Connection and credential alias requirements

    Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information, and OAuth credentials. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection.

    For information about setting up the spoke, see Set up Google Hangouts spoke.

    MID Server requirements

    These actions use REST calls, which can run on an instance or MID Server. Use the connection record associated with the Google Hangouts alias to configure where actions run as well as set MID Server selection attributes. For more information, see MID server.
