Email a message to a Google Chat space
How this automation works
Invite new members to your Circle community when they join a Google Chat space. The Applet runs whenever a person is added to the specified Google Chat space and calls Circle's invite action — provide the member's email during setup because the Google Chat trigger does not include email. This keeps memberships in sync for community managers and teams using Google Chat and Circle, useful for onboarding and maintaining private or public groups.
