Hi. Thank you for your response. So to be clear, there is no way to include a GIF in a WhatsApp automation now?
I’ve seen some chatter that suggests it might be possible if I first save in in “Files”. If that’s the case, I’d gladly do it that way, but only if it’s inserted and open in the message (not as a file attachment that must be clicked on).
Thanks again for your quick response. I did vote for the feature as you suggested.

You’ll need to convert the GIF to mp4/3GP.
