The conversations has to be precreated, the conversation id can be obtained from the `hangouts.conversations` entity, this can be found in with the states developer tool that is shown as this icon <img src='/images/screenshots/developer-tool-states-icon.png' class='no-shadow' height='38' /> in the side bar. Using your web browsers search tool to find the `hangouts.conversations` entity. You will find something like bellow
```
0: {
"id": "<Hangout ID>",
"name": "A simple hangout",
"users": [
"Steve",
"Jo"
]
}
```
This may have more if the account is in multiple hangout conversations, for configuring the bot to be in a conversation you will need the ID that would be where `<Hangout ID>` is in that example. Make sure to use quotes around the conversation id or alias to escape special characters (`!`, and `#`) in YAML.
