What’s changing
Lucidchart, an app that helps users collaborate on diagrams, such as flowcharts, wireframes, entity relationship diagrams, and more, and Lucidspark, a virtual whiteboard tool, are two third-party add-ons already available across Workspace apps, such as Docs and Meet. Today, we’re excited to announce support for both of these apps in Google Chat.
Lucidchart and Lucidspark’s integrations with Google Chat will enable users to:
- Get an immediate preview of Lucidspark and Lucidchart links shared in Chat conversations.
- Type “/lucidsearch” in Chat to find and share Lucid documents instantly.
- Keep teams aligned by bringing visual context into conversations.
Lucid built this Chat integration using the new capability to build Chat apps as Workspace add-ons.
Getting started
- Admins:
- If you have already admin-installed the Lucidchart and Lucidspark add-ons, then no action is needed.
- To enable the Lucid for Google Chat app for all users in a domain, or to add these apps to the allowlist for users to be able to install them, admins can admin-install or allowlist Lucidchart and Lucidspark from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
- Visit the Help Center to learn more about managing the Marketplace app allowlist for your organization.
- End users:
- Every user that already has the Lucidchart and Lucidspark add-ons will automatically get the Chat app.
- If you do not have the Lucidchart and Lucidspark add-ons yet, you can install them from the Workspace Marketplace and they will automatically appear in Chat.
