​
Connect Google Alerts

In Xpander Chat, open the agent’s settings, click Add skill, and search for Google Alerts. The connect dialog asks for a connection name and whether the connection is for the Organization (one shared account) or Personal (your own account, so the agent acts with your permissions where systems allow). On an agent other people use, a personal connection runs their requests as you unless the binding requires each person’s own sign-in; see whose credential a shared agent uses. The dialog shows the credential this skill needs and where it goes; the value is stored in the vault and attached at the moment of use. Calls go to https://alertcenter.googleapis.com/.

​
Give an agent the Google Alerts skill

Once Google Alerts is connected, any agent you can edit may be given the skill: open the agent’s settings, click Add skill, and choose Google Alerts. Enable only the action groups the agent needs, and mark the actions that should wait for a named person’s sign-off under These actions need approval. Which skills exist for your organization, and who may add them, is decided by your admins; see Skills.
