You work hard, so you deserve a little play. Amid the project deadlines, emails, and never-ending to-do lists, you need some fun in your workday to break up the monotony—and prevent burnout. 

How to inject joy in your day with automation

A GIF is a great way to call attention to key terms in a conversation. With this integration, you can do that easily. Every time someone mentions a keyword on a Slack channel (for example, "deal" in #sales or "awesome" in #general), Zapier will automatically find a random GIF for it on GIPHY, and post it back to the channel right after, highlighting the mention with flair. 

Slack is a platform for team communication: everything in one place, instantly searchable, available wherever you go. Offering instant messaging, document sharing and knowledge search for modern teams.

Do you know what your team chat app needs? More GIFs. If you need to send out a weekly message in a Microsoft Teams channel, use this integration to add a little pizzazz. Each week, this Zap will look for a GIF on GIPHY and post it to Microsoft Teams. You can customize the day and time for your weekly message, the search term on GIPHY, and what you'd like your message to say.

Schedule is a native Zapier app you can use for recurring tasks. Trigger an action every day of the month, every day of the week or every single day. You can also select the hour of the day. If you're a developer, this is similar to a crontab, cronjob or cron.
