New Hangouts Chrome app

Oct 9, 2014

A new Hangouts Chrome app was launched today with an updated UI. The app is available for Windows and Chrome OS platforms and brings the best of Hangouts to your desktop.

Improvements include:

Streamlined design that keeps your chats accessible without getting in the way of everything else. Your contact list and all your chats are condensed into one easy to toggle window.
Works outside of your browser so your chats are always available, not tucked away inside a window. You’ll get all your messages as long as you have the app running, and your chats will sync across Hangouts on all your devices.
Includes all the video and voice features you’re used to in Hangouts. We recently announced you can make phone calls to any number in the world (via Hangouts dialer) and now you can do this right from your desktop.

Release track:

Rapid release and Scheduled release

Today we announced Google+ Polls, a new feature that allows people using Google+ to create interactive polls and share them with their friends and followers.

Images can be added to the polls from one’s device or Google+ photos, making them interesting and engaging. Followers can then vote on the polls and results are visible to them after they vote.

Polls will become available over the next few days on Android and the web, and are coming soon to iOS. Look for the new poll icon when creating a post to create a poll.

Installable triggers in add-ons for Google Docs and Sheets

Oct 1, 2014

Originally posted to the Google Apps Developer blog

Earlier this year, we introduced add-ons for Google Docs and Sheets—packaged Apps Script projects that users can easily install from our add-on store to get extra functionality and features.

Since then, plenty of developers told us they were eager to add installable Apps Script triggers to their add-ons. We’re happy to announce that now you can do just that, making it possible to respond to more user actions. For example, a spreadsheet add-on can now react when a user submits a response to a Google Form, or can call a method that requires authorization when a user edits a cell.

Add-ons can now programmatically create and manage these installable triggers:

Sheets add-ons can use the change, edit, open, and form-submit installable triggers.
Docs add-ons can use the (new!) open installable trigger.

To see the power of installable triggers in action, check out developer Romain Vialard’s Yet Another Mail Merge, which has already been updated. The original YAMM lets users quickly personalize Gmail drafts by replacing placeholder fields with data from a spreadsheet. The new version uses a trigger to send an email whenever a form is submitted.

If you’ve worked with installable triggers before, you’ll find that they behave a little differently in add-ons (for one thing, there are no pesky “Summary of failures” emails!), so be sure to check out the documentation.

Today’s launch adds the ability to restore Gmail messages that were inadvertently deleted and return them to people’s inboxes.

This launch also adds the ability to perform Drive or Gmail data restores for up to 10 people simultaneously. Admins can select a date range to restore data from up to 25 days in the past.
