Google Workspace + Microsoft 365Real-Time Messaging Integration
Google Chat and Microsoft Teams don't talk to each other natively. SyncRivo bridges both ecosystems in real time — messages, threads, @mentions, reactions, and files sync bidirectionally, typically within seconds (reactions are limited on Teams). No migration required.
What Gets Synchronized Between Google Workspace and Microsoft 365
More than plain text — messages, threads, mentions, reactions, files, edits and deletes sync bidirectionally.
Real-time messages
Messages sync in real time via webhook events — not polling — and typically arrive within seconds.
Thread replies
Replies stay in thread context. A reply to a Teams message appears as a thread reply in Google Chat — preserving conversation structure on both sides.
@Mentions across platforms
When a Teams user @mentions a Google Chat colleague, that person gets a proper notification in Google Chat when that person is in the synced directory (otherwise the mention arrives as plain text).
Emoji reactions
Reactions sync with equivalent emoji mapping. On Teams, reactions are limited to the six standard Teams reactions and appear for users who connected their account.
File attachments
Files shared in bridged channels are relayed to the other platform. File bytes pass through SyncRivo in memory only and are never stored.
Message edits & deletions
Edits and deletions propagate across the bridge, keeping the conversation history consistent on both the Google and Microsoft sides.
Why Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 Don't Integrate Natively
Google and Microsoft are competing ecosystems. Neither company has an incentive to build native messaging interoperability — each benefits from customers staying entirely within their platform.
native real-time messaging bridges between Google Chat and Microsoft Teams from Google or Microsoft
The gap between Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 is one of the most common enterprise IT pain points. Whether from an acquisition that brought a different ecosystem, departmental preferences, or a phased migration — organizations running both platforms need a reliable bridge that works today, not after months of IT work.
Who Uses Google Workspace + Microsoft 365 Integration
Four scenarios where the Google ↔ Microsoft messaging gap costs real productivity.
Google Workspace + Microsoft 365 M&A Coexistence
Company A (Google Workspace) acquires Company B (Microsoft 365). Day 1 problem: Google Chat users cannot message Teams users. SyncRivo bridges both ecosystems immediately — no migration, no guest accounts, no IT rearchitecture. Both sides communicate natively from their existing tools throughout the integration period.
Multi-Platform Enterprise Teams
Engineering on Google Workspace (Google Chat). Sales and Finance on Microsoft 365 (Teams). SyncRivo connects both so cross-functional collaboration happens natively — engineers message colleagues in Teams channels from Google Chat without switching apps.
Google Workspace Subsidiaries + Microsoft 365 HQ
A global company standardized headquarters on Microsoft 365 Teams, but regional subsidiaries across APAC and EMEA run Google Workspace. SyncRivo bridges each subsidiary's Google Chat to the central Teams environment — no forced migration, immediate connectivity.
Google Workspace + Microsoft 365 for Regulated Industries
Healthcare systems with clinical teams on Google Workspace and administrative staff on Microsoft 365 Teams. SyncRivo offers a BAA for Enterprise customers, does not store message content on the normal relay path, and keeps an activity log and security event history.
Beyond Google Chat ↔ Teams: All Platform Pairs
SyncRivo bridges Google Chat with all four other major enterprise messaging platforms — not just Microsoft Teams.
Any-to-any routing: configure Google Chat ↔ Teams, Google Chat ↔ Slack, and Google Chat ↔ Zoom simultaneously from a single SyncRivo account.
How to Connect Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 — Step by Step
Guided onboarding: the first channel bridge is typically live once your Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 admins approve the apps. No IT infrastructure changes.
Create a SyncRivo account
Book a demo at syncrivo.ai. SyncRivo is enterprise-only with custom pricing — a guided proof-of-concept connects Google Chat and Microsoft Teams.
Authorize Google Workspace
Click 'Add Google Chat' and sign in with your Google Workspace admin account. SyncRivo requests read and write access to Google Chat via Google OAuth 2.0. Your Google Workspace admin may need to approve the OAuth app in the Admin Console.
Authorize Microsoft 365
Click 'Add Microsoft Teams' and sign in with your Microsoft 365 account. SyncRivo requests ChannelMessage.Read.All and ChannelMessage.Send via Microsoft Graph API. A Microsoft 365 admin may need to grant tenant-wide consent.
Map Google Chat spaces to Teams channels
Select which Google Chat spaces should pair with which Microsoft Teams channels. You can create multiple channel mappings — each pair syncs independently with its own routing configuration.
Configure connection options
Choose per-connection options such as attachments, reactions, in-place edits and deletes, and sender name display. Click Save.
Test and go live
Post a message in your Google Chat space. Verify it appears in the paired Teams channel within seconds. Your Google Workspace ↔ Microsoft 365 messaging bridge is live.

Enterprise Security for Google Workspace + Microsoft 365
Meeting both Google and Microsoft's enterprise security requirements in a single bridge.
No Message Content Storage
Message content is not stored on the normal relay path — only message IDs are kept to sync threads, edits and reactions. An optional retry queue holds undelivered messages temporarily.
OAuth2 Per Platform
Each platform connection uses scoped OAuth2 tokens with minimum required permissions — Google OAuth for Google Chat, Microsoft Graph for Teams. No shared API keys; OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest.
HIPAA BAA Available
For healthcare organizations bridging Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, SyncRivo provides a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) on Enterprise plans — covering the message routing layer under HIPAA.
Per-Organization Data Separation
Your Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 routing configuration and access tokens are scoped to your organization and not shared with other SyncRivo customers.
Activity Log
An activity log and security event history (JSON export) are available for compliance review.
