*** Please note that Google Chats (after mid 2021) are currently not being migrated. This is due to an issue on the source platform side, and not in CloudM Migrate. Only older chats messages are supported as we work with the platform provider to resolve the issue. ***
Migrated Chat Label
Default Value: Migrated Chats
The label that will be applied to migrated chats.
 |
Chat migrations will only be supported if the Google App setting for Google Chat and Classic Hangouts is set to "Chat preferred (recommended for migration)".
The setting can be accessed via the Google Admin console: Apps > Google Workspace > Google Chat and Classic Hangouts > Service status
Any Chat items created when ‘Chat only’ is enabled cannot be migrated, even if the Chat and Classic Hangouts option is subsequently switched on. This is caused by Hangouts returning via Gmail search operators (in:chats) which we use to filter chat messages, but chats are not returned using the same method. |
