How to connect Slack and Giphy
Create a New Scenario to Connect Slack and Giphy
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Slack, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Slack or Giphy will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Slack or Giphy, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Slack Node
Select the Slack node from the app selection panel on the right.

- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Slack, Giphy, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Slack and Giphy integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Slack and Giphy (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Slack and Giphy
Slack + Giphy + Google Sheets: When a new message is posted to a Slack channel, the flow checks if it contains a GIF. If it does, it logs the GIF URL, the user who posted it, and the timestamp to a Google Sheet for content analysis.
Slack + Giphy + X (Twitter): When a new message is posted to a Slack channel containing a specific hashtag, the flow searches Giphy for a relevant GIF. It then automatically tweets the popular GIF on Twitter (X) with the same hashtag.
