Now it’s as simple as following the wizard to add your Google account. Go to Accounts and hit the “+” at the bottom. Hit Cmd-, (that’s a comma) to open the app’s Preferences.

It does require paying for a service… but, if you’re serious about getting real integration between an Android phone and the Messages app on a Mac, this is how to do it.
