Is is possible to create a "send-message-to(..)" URL for Google Hangouts?

With mail you can create an URL like mailto:[email protected]?subject=The%20message. If you click that link, an e-mail message editor will be opened with the provided emailaddress and subject.

With WhatsApp you can do the same: https://wa.me/1234567890?text=The%20message.

It it also possible to do this with Google Hangouts, so it opens a chat with a provided emailaddress? When I check de developer documentation I only see REST documentation for bots and such...

Take a look on this case: https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/58767/create-direct-link-to-google-hangouts-chat

The final URL is:

https://hangouts.google.com/chat/person/1XXXXXXXXXXXX

As you can see, you need an ID of the person, 1XXXXXXXXXXXX and it is not [email protected] format.

If you want you can file a Feature Request following the next link, requesting alternative format(email) for an ID: https://support.google.com/a/answer/6284762?hl=en

I hope this solves your doubts.
