Can a Bot in a Google Hangout Room access Active Users

My team is finding @all to be way too much - people are being notified when they're off, which is a non-starter for us. I've searched the AppScript documentation, and all i'm finding is how to reply to individuals.

What I want: The ability to detect users that are Active in Hangouts, and @mention each of them by calling a bot. Is this possible?

Answer:

Unfortunately, at current there is no way using the Hangouts API to check the status of members that are in a chat group.

Feature Request:

I'm from G Suite support. This is a feature that is available in other popular chat application APIs, and so I have taken the liberty of creating a feature request for this for you on Google's Issue Tracker. This Feature Request can be found here, which you can give a star (☆) in the top left to let Google know more people wish for this request.

Currently, this feature doesn't exist in the Hangouts Chat API - specifically, the spaces.members resource (is where I presume this would best fit under) & at all other resources.

I strongly recommend filing a feature request on their Issue Tracker, for now.
