• Mentions – Mentioning users and entire teams in messages with the “@” symbol.
• Emojis – Icons that users send in messages or react to messages with.

Metadata builds rich context around conversations between individual users and teams. Therefore, it is critical to preserve all metadata of Workplace messages in Google Chat to avoid impacting users post-migration.

• Timestamps – The time information of when a message was sent.
• Read status – Shows whether the recipient has opened and read/seen the message. In groups, it shows who has seen and read the message.

• User role – The role of each user, e.g., member, admin, etc.
