Google Chat Integration

Google Chat Integration Improvement Request

Current Issues

Thread Management Problem: Currently, all push notifications are grouped into a single thread, which creates usability issues, especially when pipeline notifications are also enabled. This differs from the more intuitive Slack/Discord integrations where each push creates a separate thread.

Navigation Challenges:

  • Pipeline webhook messages create new threads and accumulate over time
  • Commit notifications remain buried in the original thread
  • Users must scroll extensively to locate commit-related discussions
  • This creates a fragmented conversation experience

Limited Pipeline Insights: The current pipeline webhook messages provide minimal actionable information compared to the rich data available in Slack/Discord integrations.

Proposed Solution

Implement Slack/Discord-style Threading:

  • Create individual threads for each commit and pipeline notification
  • Maintain chronological order and easy navigation

Enhanced Pipeline Notifications:

  • Provide comprehensive pipeline insights matching Slack/Discord feature parity
  • Improve message formatting for better readability
