+# Send notifications to Google Hangouts
+
+[Google Hangouts](https://hangouts.google.com/) is a cross-platform messaging app developed by Google. You can configure
+Netdata to send alarm notifications to a Hangouts room in order to stay aware of possible health or performance issues
+on your nodes. Here's an example of the notification in action:
+
+![Netdata on Hangouts](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/66427166-47de6900-e9c8-11e9-8322-b4b03f084dc1.png)
+
+To receive notifications in Google Hangouts, you need the following in your Hangouts setup:
+
+1. One or more rooms.
+2. An **incoming webhook** for each room.
+
+Follow [Google's documentation](https://developers.google.com/hangouts/chat/how-tos/webhooks) to create an incoming
+webhook for each room you want to send Netdata notifications to.
+
+Set the webhook URIs and room names in `health_alarm_notify.conf`. To edit it on your system, run
+`/etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf`):
+
+## Threads (optional)
+
+Instead to receive alarms on different threads, Netdata allows you to concentrate them inside an unique thread when you
+set the variable `HANGOUTS_WEBHOOK_THREAD[NAME]`.
+
+```
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# hangouts (google hangouts chat) global notification options
+# enable/disable sending hangouts notifications
+SEND_HANGOUTS="YES"
+# On Hangouts, in the room you choose, create an incoming webhook,
+# copy the link and paste it below and also identify the room name.
+# Without it, netdata cannot send hangouts notifications to that room.
+# HANGOUTS_WEBHOOK_URI[ROOM_NAME]="URLforroom1"
+HANGOUTS_WEBHOOK_URI[systems]="https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/AAAAXXXXXXX/..."
+HANGOUTS_WEBHOOK_URI[development]="https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/AAAAYYYYY/..."
+# On Hangouts, copy a thread link and change the values for space and thread
+# HANGOUTS_WEBHOOK_THREAD[systems]="spaces/AAAAXXXXXXX/threads/XXXXXXXXXXX"
+# if a DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_HANGOUTS are not configured,
+# notifications wouldn't be send to hangouts rooms.
+# DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_HANGOUTS="systems development|critical"
+DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_HANGOUTS="sysadmin devops alarms|critical"
+```
+
+You can define multiple rooms like this: `sysadmin devops alarms|critical`.
+
+The keywords `sysadmin`, `devops`, and `alarms` are Hangouts rooms.
