Chat is more social with gifs. This block lets users send each others gifs in a chat message based on the text it reads in the message with the Giphy API, just like Slack.
This block adds a gif url to a message based on the text. It uses 3rd party Giphy API to get gif url matching input text. Keywords are extracted from text based on usage of /gif tag in message text. The /gif tag is removed from text before publishing.
