Frequently asked questions

Ceven manages GIPHY rate limits by implementing a smart queuing system that respects the limits of your specific API key tier. GIPHY employs strict rate limiting based on the number of requests per second and per day. If a workflow triggers a massive burst of requests, Ceven will automatically pace the calls and retry failed requests with an exponential backoff strategy. This prevents your API key from being temporarily blocked during high traffic events. You can monitor your current usage in the Ceven dashboard to see if you are approaching your daily quota so you can upgrade your GIPHY developer plan if necessary.
Yes. Every GIPHY action in Ceven allows you to specify a content rating. You can set your workflow to only pull GIFs rated G or PG to ensure that no inappropriate content ever reaches your customers or employees. This is a global setting you can apply to your agent or a per call parameter. The agent will strictly adhere to these filters, ignoring any results that do not match the requested safety level. This makes it safe to use GIPHY in enterprise Slack channels or customer facing support bots where brand safety is the highest priority.
Ceven does not store the actual image files. Instead, it stores the metadata and the direct URL provided by GIPHY. When a GIF is displayed in your chat or social tool, it is served directly from GIPHY servers. This ensures that you are always using the most optimized version of the file and that you are not consuming unnecessary storage in your own database. If a GIF is removed from GIPHY, it will no longer appear in your workflow because we rely on the live API for delivery.
The translate sticker action takes a text string and sends it to the GIPHY translation engine, which attempts to find the single most representative sticker for that phrase. In a Ceven workflow, this is often used after a sentiment analysis step. For example, if a customer says I love this product, the agent translates that sentiment into the phrase love it and requests a sticker. This removes the need for you to maintain a manual library of stickers for every possible customer emotion.
Yes. By providing your developer API key with write permissions, Ceven can upload GIF or video files from a public URL or a cloud storage link directly to GIPHY. You can automate the tagging and description process so that every upload is immediately searchable. This is particularly useful for companies that create their own original reaction content and want to distribute it across the GIPHY network to increase brand visibility and make their assets available to the general public.
GIFs are standard moving images that usually have a solid background. Stickers are GIFs with a transparent background, making them ideal for overlaying on top of other content like Instagram stories or chat bubbles. Ceven provides separate actions for searching and retrieving each type. When building your workflow, use the sticker endpoints if you need assets that blend into the UI and use the GIF endpoints for standalone visual reactions that occupy their own space in the conversation.
Yes. By using the GIPHY Analytics Register tool, Ceven can send event data back to GIPHY whenever a user interacts with a GIF delivered by a workflow. You can track views, clicks, and sends. This allows you to see which visual assets are performing best with your audience. You can then use this data to refine your search tags or change the types of GIFs your agent suggests, creating a feedback loop that optimizes your visual communication strategy over time.
You can use the GIPHY Categories action to pull a full list of available content buckets. Once you have the category ID, you can use the Category GIFs action to pull a curated set of images from that specific group. This is useful for creating themed days or seasonal campaigns. For example, you could set a workflow to pull from the holiday category every December to ensure your automated responses stay timely and relevant without you having to update the search keywords manually.
