Google today announced that developers can use Dialogflow to make automated bots for Hangouts Chat, Google's Slack-like tool for G Suite customers. Dialogflow and its pre-built natural language understanding engine can make conversational actions for Google Assistant and power bots for Slack, Facebook Messenger, Twitter and other platforms. Google's G Suite is currently used by more than 5 million businesses.
Hangouts Chat made its debut for G Suite in February 2018. At launch, custom bots could be created for connecting third-party apps to do things like search and workflow management or integrate SaaS offerings from companies like Salesforce.
Developers and businesses can quickly make their Dialogflow bots accessible in Hangouts Chat by going to the Integrations page and enabling Hangouts Chat support. The bot can then be installed on your account for tests in Hangouts Chat.
Google also plans to make a bot store accessible directly inside the Hangouts Chat app to help people discover and install new automated agents or bots with screenshots and detailed descriptions supplied by third-party developers.

The adapter supports HTTP and Cloud Pub/Sub bot endpoints.
