The Hangouts integration configuration settings include global settings and status dashboard specific settings, both of which are described below:

Delivery Errors
If you would like to be notified of errors in the delivery of notification messages to any of your configured Hangouts rooms, you can subscribe to receive email notification alerts. Once subscribed, we'll quickly notify you if we experience any errors that would indicate a problem with Google Hangouts, or a misconfigured integration. To subscribe to alerts, navigate to User Profile > Options > Notifications > Notification Errors.
Hangouts Delivery Reports
StatusDashboard maintains a record of every Hangouts message sent including the response code and response content from the Google Hangouts webhook endpoint. If you would like to review a record of sent Hangouts messages for your account, you may do so by navigating to Integrations > Hangouts (GSuite) > Global Options > Delivery Report. Click on the information icon to view detailed information about the message, including any relevant errors.
Source IP Addresses
IP addresses from which we will access the Hangouts webhook endpoints are listed in our public StatusDashboard configuration file. This file is updated whenever our IP addresses change.
