Slack

Formatter by Zapier

Schedule by Zapier

If you're feeling adrift from the people you work with, the answer isn't more Zoom calls, thankfully. It's a little something called asynchronous bonding—which sounds like a chemistry, but is really having moments of connection on your own time.

How to stay connected with your remote coworkers, asynchronously

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.

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.
