Trello for Google Chat

Trello for Google Chat lets you send custom alerts to chat rooms for activity on Trello boards, lists, and cards. Alerts can be sent from any of your Trello boards to chat rooms via the Chat Power-Up. Plus, alerts can be tailored specifically to the room you are sending them to, making sure that your team is always aware of the activity that matters most. 

Note: @Trello bot is available for Google Chat. To use apps in Google Chat, a work or school account is required. This information was extracted from Google Chat’s articles and you find the original file here.
