https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/chat.googleapis.com/overview?project=<glean-gcp-project-id>to check.- If your Glean GCP project is Glean hosted, this step must be performed by your Glean representative.
- Once the API is enabled, you need to configure the app. Click on Manage and switch to the Configuration tab. If your Glean GCP project is Glean hosted, this step must be performed by your Glean representative. Fill out the fields as below:
