To create a Slack bot for daily motivation, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. If you’re a new user, visit pabbl.com/connect in your browser and click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button. This will allow you to explore Pabbly Connect with 100 free tasks every month.

Once you’re signed up, navigate to the workflow builder of Pabbly Connect. Here, you will set up the automation that sends daily motivational messages to your Slack channel. This initial setup is crucial for integrating various applications seamlessly.

2. Setting Up Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

In the workflow builder of Pabbly Connect, the first step is to add a trigger. Click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button and select ‘Schedule by Pabbly’. This feature allows you to schedule your workflow, which is essential for sending daily messages.

• Select ‘Schedule Workflow’ as the event.
• Set the frequency to ‘Every Day’.
• Choose the time for the message, e.g., 9:00 AM.

After configuring these settings, click ‘Save’ to finalize the trigger. Now, your workflow is set to run daily at the specified time, ensuring your team receives motivational messages each morning.

3. Generating Daily Motivational Messages with Google Gemini

Next, you need to generate the motivational message. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and search for ‘Gemini’, then select it. For the event, choose ‘Generate Content’ and click ‘Connect’. This integration allows Pabbly Connect to communicate with Google AI to create the message.

If you haven’t connected Google Gemini yet, you will need to create a new connection. This requires an API key from Google AI Studio. Here’s how to get it:

• Open Google AI Studio and navigate to the ‘Get API Key’ section.
• Click on ‘Create API Key’, enter a key name, and select the project.
• Copy the generated key and paste it into your Pabbly Connect workflow.

Once the connection is established, provide a prompt for Google Gemini to generate your motivational message. You can customize the prompt based on your team’s needs.

4. Sending the Generated Message to Slack

After generating the motivational message, the next step is to send it to Slack. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ again and search for ‘Slack’. Select it and choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the event. This action is facilitated by Pabbly Connect, which bridges the gap between Google Gemini and Slack.

If you have not connected Slack yet, you will be prompted to add a new connection. You need to provide a token type, which can be either user or bot. For this integration, select ‘Bot’ and click ‘Save’. After granting necessary permissions, your Slack account will be connected to Pabbly Connect.

Select the Slack channel where you want to send the message. Use the mapping feature to insert the message generated by Google Gemini. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the integration.

Once the test is successful, your Slack bot is ready to send daily motivational messages to your team at the scheduled time.
