How automating Google Chat works

Describe the outcome. Say what you want to happen, in your own words. No node graphs, no field mapping.
Approve the contract. HumDay writes down exactly what it will do, what it will touch, and what it will never do. You approve it before anything is built.
See it proven. The program runs and shows you the result before it is allowed near your live Google Chat account.
Grant access, then go live. You approve the specific Google Chat operations it may use — and only those.
