Summary

This text describes the creation of a bot called AwesomeBot, which sends inspirational messages to its creator on random workdays and times to boost their self-esteem. The bot uses Zapier, a workflow automation tool, to achieve this. The process involves setting up seven steps: scheduling by Zapier, formatting with Pick from List, filtering with conditional requirements, and four more steps to delay for a random number of minutes and retrieve an image from Giphy or Inspirobot. The text also provides advanced customization options for the bot, including using Inspirobot's API to send Christmas-themed images.
