Kudos images and GIFs
This article shows you how to attach images or GIFs to kudos, when to use the built-in library versus a custom upload, and how Google Chat rendering differs from other platforms.
Steps
- Start kudos the way you usually do for your platform (slash command, shortcut, or web flow).
- When the composer asks for media or shows an Add image / GIF control, open it before you submit.
- Pick Image library to choose approved stickers or GIFs your admin curated — fastest and most consistent for brand-safe teams.
- Or pick Upload and select a file from your device; stay within size limits shown in the UI to avoid failed posts.
- For animated GIFs, prefer files under your platform’s attachment limit; very large GIFs may strip animation or fail on mobile clients.
- In Slack, Discord, or Microsoft Teams, confirm the preview in the composer looks correct, then send.
- In Google Chat, note that some GIF or rich previews render as a link or static preview depending on Chat and Dailybot settings — if motion does not appear, the kudos text still posts; see unwanted images in Google Chat when behavior is wrong, not just simplified.
- Submit the kudos so Dailybot posts the message with the attachment to the chosen channel or destination.
Platform differences (summary)
| Platform | Typical behavior |
|---|---|
| Slack | Inline image/GIF preview in channel |
| Microsoft Teams | Card or attachment preview per Teams rules |
| Discord | Embeds when within size limits |
| Google Chat | May simplify animated or external media |
What to expect after
Recipients see the same kudos text everywhere; image fidelity follows each chat client’s rules. Admins can restrict uploads while keeping the library enabled.
