Movebot fills out Google Workspace migration breadth and admin controls, then quiets.

◆Current state
Movebot is methodically deepening its Google Workspace migration support — Resource Calendars (rooms, shared spaces) are now first-class, calendar permission/attendee mapping has its own configuration surface with CSV import, and Google SSO is available with an enforce-login option for admins. Mailbox Discovery Scans were dialed back at the org level due to source-side rate limits.
◆Where it's heading
The arc is unglamorous but consistent: cover more of the migration matrix (more object types, more edge cases like recurring events) while giving admins of large migrations real configuration control. Public cadence has slowed since mid-2025, suggesting either a quieter maintenance phase or larger work happening below the public surface.
◆Prediction
Most likely next steps are continuing to convert workarounds into first-class migration paths — Microsoft 365 resource equivalents, Teams data, or richer permission inheritance — alongside more bulk-config features like the CSV-driven mapping. A directional pivot is not visible in this data.

◆Recent moves

    Resource Calendar Support Now Live in Movebot

    Resource Calendar migration becomes first-class: rooms and shared spaces map by email with a resource: prefix instead of post-migration patching. Closes a real gap in Workspace migrations and is the most substantive recent release.

    Update: Calendar & Permission Mapping Configuration

    Calendar and permission attendee mapping moves into Project Configuration, and CSV import lands for complex calendar migrations — meaningful for large-org admins running mappings at scale.

    Update: Change to Mailbox Discovery Scans

    Removes full-organisation Discovery Scans for mailbox projects, citing source-side rate limiting. A capability cut, but a deliberate one — Movebot is steering users toward per-mailbox scans aligned with how migrations actually run.

    Enforce Login with Google

    Organizations can now enforce Google Login for Movebot admins, completing the SSO-to-enforcement loop started a month earlier. Standard but expected hardening for a tool used in compliance-sensitive migrations.

    Bugfix: Prevent jobs from stalling in a pending state

    Bug fix for jobs stuck in pending state across all datacenter locations. Reliability hygiene rather than a directional move.

    New Feature: Login with Google

    Initial Google SSO support for admin login. Sets up the enforce-login change that landed about a month later.
