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.

Post random Good Morning GIFs from GIPHY every day on Slack

Need a reminder that you're awesome? This bot randomly sends you a gif reminding you just how great you are.

Data isn't always in the format you need. Perhaps a date is in International format, but your app needs it in American format. Or maybe you need to Title Case a subject, truncate text for a Tweet, or turn Markdown text into HTML for your blog. Zapier's Formatter tool can help.

Work with dates and times to change formatting or add/subtract time (with line-item support).

Date / Time

Work with numeric data to do math operations, reformat currencies, and more (with line-item support).

Numbers

Work with text data to find & replace, capitalize, remove HTML, and more (with line-item support).

Text

Various utilities like "choose value from list" or "look up in table" (with line-item support).

Utilities

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.

Only continue if...
