Podio

Using GIFs with Giphy

Animated GIFs allow users to express themselves in ways they never could before. Using Giphy, you can include GIFs in any Podio comment or chat message. Simply type “::” plus any keyword to search the GIF database.

For example, typing “::wow” will bring up a number of options you can choose from.

You can also use Emojis in any comment or chat in Podio. To use an Emoji, start by typing a colon (“:”), and you will see a list of suggestions to choose from. You can narrow down the list by typing further.

We hope you enjoy this feature as much as we do!
