Go to the Google Marketplace, search for Nectar and select Admin Install.

A pop-up will appear where you will need to click Continue to adjust what permissions you will give Nectar to access.

Select what groups you want to install the app for, agree to the Terms & Conditions and click Finish.

Once installed, your employees will be notified in their email chat that it has been installed.


Installation for individuals:

To install G-Chat go into your G-mail account and go to the chat tab.

Then click Explore Apps, search for Nectar, and click Add. Then you can either have a singular chat, or add the app to an existing space.

Once it is added, you will have a separate chat designated that says Nectar (App). You will receive notifications here whenever you receive a shoutout. (see below)

You can also send shoutouts through the App in G-Chat!

You can either click the + button or type /sendShoutout and select from the pop up and hit the Send button.

A pop up form will open that you will fill out for your shoutout.
