When you can't get peppermint mochas with your team or share every thought that pops into your head with the person at the desk next to yours, how do you stay connected with your coworkers?

Use automation to create moments of fun in your remote or hybrid team

Looking for an easy reminder about your daily tasks? With this integration, that scheduled task will automatically show up in a custom message the Slack channel of your choice at the same time, every day. 

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.

Starting the day with a little fun can help set the tone for your work. Automatically greet your team as work begins by setting up this integration. It will trigger every day at the predefined time, searching for a random "Good Morning" GIF on GIPHY and posting it to your #general channel on Slack so the team can start their day with a smile.

Giphy is the best way to search, share, and discover GIFs on the Internet.

Giphy

Finds a random GIF that matches your specified keyword(s).

Find GIF

Post random Good Morning GIFs from GIPHY every day on Slack

Welcome new members onto the team with a bit of fun! Once this automation is active, it will trigger with each new user you add to Slack, automatically searching for a "welcome" GIF on GIPHY and posting it to #general so they can start working with a bang!

Start a GIPHY GIF party for new Slack team members

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. 

Only allow a Zap to proceed when a certain condition is met. For example, if you're sending a text message when you receive a new email, you could use a Filter that only sends a text message when the email received is from a certain address.

Set up rules to specify when this Zap can continue running.
