This component allows you to send messages to [Google Hangouts](http://hangouts.google.com) conversations, as well as to react to messages in conversations. Reacting to commands is accomplished by firing an event when one of the configured commands is triggered.

## {% linkable_title Setup the component via the frontend %}
Menu: *Configuration* -> *Integrations*
Fill the form:
* Your **Google Mail Address** and **Password**
* If needed, you will be asked for a 2-factor authorization token
Configure the integration:
* Enter your **Google Mail Address** and **Password**
* If you secured your account with 2-factor authentication you will be asked for a 2-factor authentication token.
**BEST PRACTICE:** You can't write messages to yourself or get notifications in a group, if "you" write the message. The best way is to create a own google account for your hangouts bot.

**IMPORTANT:** If you secured your account with 2 factor authorization: Only verification by app or SMS are supported. There is no support for verification by prompt on your phone.

**IMPORTANT 2:** If you are sure your email and password is correct, but the component says the login is invalid. Wait a few hours and try it again, it might be, that google asks for a captcha which we can't support. Google official don't support bots at hangouts, that's why we have to work around this.

The authentication token will be generated and stored internally.
