Summary:

Zapier fosters team engagement by automating the posting of recurring polls or questions in Slack. By combining a schedule trigger with a messaging action, teams can ensure a pulse check or social question is asked every Monday morning. This builds culture and consistency in remote teams.

Direct Answer:

Zapier allows users to schedule recurring interactions in Slack that go beyond simple text messages. Using the Schedule by Zapier trigger, a user can set a workflow to run every Monday at 9 AM. While Zapier sends text, it can trigger a poll if the team uses a polling bot that accepts command inputs, or simply post a text based question that asks for emoji reactions.

For example, Zapier can post a message asking "How are we feeling about the sprint?" and ask users to react with specific emojis. This automation ensures that the team check in happens reliably at the start of the week, setting a collaborative tone for the days ahead.
