Email notifications of chat messages

[DLBr]

Hi, I just joined  this group and am excited to be able to share a challenge. I noticed that my team sometimes receives emails of Google chat notifications they may have missed. Some of the message contents are private, so should not be emailed and should remain within chat. I understand it’s very simple to go into the settings for each individual person and turn this off, but is there a way to do it as an admin for all of the users? Could this feature be created? This is definitely important for security reasons, and when a company has many different users, it wouldn’t make sense to go into each individual account to change. Thanks in advance.

I also don't see anything in the Admin Console UI settings that might accomplish this. You might have a look at the documentation for the Chat API to see if there's anything there that might allow you to do it that way. 

If it's also not possible there, you might want to post this to the Feature Ideas section here. Doing so will allow it to be upvoted by others and possibly considered as a future feature enhancement.

If you do not already have access, you need to request it first. See https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/custom/page/page-id/Workspace-Feature-Ideas-FAQ for how to do that.

Once you have access, go to https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/Feature-Ideas/gh-p/workspace-ideas-group . There, you can upvote and comment on any similar idea, or post a new idea.

If you are submitting a feature idea, be sure to explain the problem that you're trying to solve with the feature idea, not just the idea itself. For example, saying "when my users are trying to do 'A', they often get confused by the fact that the buttons to do 'X' and to do 'Y' look quite similar to each other, which leads to this unintended consequence" is far more likely to get fixed than a feature idea that just says "change the color of the button 'Y'".

Cheers,

Ian
