What you can do

Four things you can do once Google Workspace is connected

Empuls lives in Google Chat, so recognition and rewards happen where your teams already work.

Recognise from the conversation

Send appreciation in Google Chat
Employees send appreciations and recognition directly from Google Chat, in the same place the work conversation is happening.
Trigger Empuls with /empuls
Type /empuls in any message box to bring up the Empuls bot, or message the bot directly.

Rewards without switching tabs

Redeem rewards in chat
Employees redeem rewards from within Google Chat through the Empuls bot.
Check notifications in place
Recognition and reward notifications arrive in Google Chat, so employees do not have to open another app to see them.

Team spaces that celebrate

Five post types
Appreciation posts, daily birthday wishes, work anniversary milestones, new joiner welcome posts, and a periodic leaderboard of top performers.
Choose where posts appear
Add the Empuls app to a space and select that space in notification settings. Posts appear only in the spaces you choose.

Admin control

Super Admin setup
Only Super Admins can finalise the connection with the /connect command and manage space notifications with /space-notification-settings.
Existing Google accounts
Employees use their existing Google Workspace accounts. No individual setup is needed.

Use cases

Who runs it, and what for

Three patterns for teams running Empuls on Google Workspace.

Distributed teams

Recognition where teams already talk

Peers praise each other from the Google Chat space they are already in, instead of opening a separate recognition tool.

Culture

Celebrate milestones automatically

Birthdays, work anniversaries, and new joiners are posted to your chosen spaces, so these moments do not depend on someone remembering.

Adoption

Make rewards easy to find

Employees check notifications and redeem rewards from Google Chat, which keeps Empuls within one slash command of everyday work.

How it works

From Empuls admin console to Google Chat

Step 1

Start setup in Empuls

Go to Reports & Admin, then Integrations. Select the Google Workspace tile and click Start Setup.

Step 2

Sign in and install

Sign in with a Google Workspace admin account, verify your identity, and install Empuls from the Google Workspace Marketplace.

Step 3

Connect in Google Chat

Copy the authorization code from the Empuls Integrations page. Message the Empuls bot in Google Chat and run /connect.

Step 4

Add Empuls to your spaces

Add the Empuls app to the spaces where you want posts, using the + icon or the /empuls command.

Setup

Set up from the Empuls admin console

An admin starts setup in Empuls, installs the app from the Google Workspace Marketplace, and a Super Admin finishes the connection in Google Chat.

Integration type

Native Google Workspace integration for Empuls, delivered through Google Chat.

Access required

Admin access to Empuls (Reports & Admin) and a Google Workspace account with admin privileges. Super Admins run /connect.

Employee setup

None. Employees use their existing Google Workspace accounts.

If you disconnect

Stopping the integration removes only the Google Chat connection. No Empuls data is deleted.
