#955 Giphy integration via /giphy command

Opened by keeb · 7/4/2026

Problem statement

Lab ripples and other composers are text-only. Sometimes the correct response to an issue is a GIF. Why not, right?

Proposed solution

Support a /giphy <search terms> command in composers (lab ripples at minimum). Typing /giphy party gator would search Giphy and insert a matching GIF into the message — either the top result or a small picker of results to choose from.

  • Slash command recognized in the composer, Slack/Discord style.
  • Renders the selected GIF inline in the posted ripple.
  • Needs a Giphy API key (env-gated like other integrations — unset key disables the feature gracefully).

Alternatives

  • Paste raw GIF URLs and render them inline (less fun, no search).
  • Support a generic slash-command framework first and make /giphy the pilot command.
  • Don't do it (but: why not, right?)
