+## About
+
+We have deployed a Cloud Build notifier on Cloud Run that sends build failure
+notifications to a Google Chat space. This folder contains the configuration and
+helper scripts.
+
+## Details
+
+The instructions for notifier setup can be found on the
+[GCP documentation site](https://cloud.google.com/build/docs/configuring-notifications/configure-googlechat).
+For the **initial** setup, Cloud Build provides a
+[script](https://cloud.google.com/build/docs/configuring-notifications/automate)
+that automates a lot of the work.
+
+With the automated procedure, the notifier is deployed as a Cloud Run service
+named `googlechat-notifier` in a single region of user's choice. The notifier
+subscribes to the `cloud-builds` Pub/sub topic for build statuses, applies our
+custom filter, and sends matching notifications to our Google Chat space.
+
+Our custom configuration for the notifier is in the `googlechat.yaml` file. It
+defines:
+
+*   The build status filter, currently matching for all triggered builds that
+    have failed or timed out. The filter semantics are explained
+    [here](https://cloud.google.com/build/docs/configuring-notifications/configure-googlechat#using_cel_to_filter_build_events).
+*   The secret name of the Chat Webhook token stored in the Secret Manager. This
+    token allows the notifier to send notifications to our Chat space. The
+    webhook token can be managed in the Google Chat client.
+
+The `googlechat.yaml` configuration file should be uploaded to the GCS bucket
+`{PROJECT_ID}-notifiers-config`. The `upload_config.sh` script can be used for
+uploading. The new configuration will take effect eventually after all currently
+running notifier instances shutdown due to inactivity, which is bound to happen
+with our workload (Note: this depends on the scale-to-zero policy, which is the
+default).
+
+To make sure the new configurations take effect immediately, the
+`update_notifier.sh`. It deploys a new revision of the notifier and shuts down
+old instances.
+
+Note that if the notifier is moved to another region, the full setup must be
+repeated.
