Within your company’s collaboration platform (Slack), you can allow your team to offer trees to each other. To plant and offer a tree, any employee will simply need to reply to the person they want to offer a tree to with a special Tree-Nation Emoji. This gift recipient will receive a Slack message in his/her personal channel with a message and a link to their tree gift.
With this Planting Habit your employees can congratulate other team members, show their support for their hard work, their empathy when they are sick or just say thank you by offering the gift of a tree.
Platforms: Slack (via Zapier)
Planting habit: #TeamSpirit
Requirements
- A Tree-Nation account (100 free trees for new users), no integration cost, only pay for the trees planted

The remaining fields are not necessary for this integration to work, so once you finish the Slack message customization, head to the Test section and click on ‘Test action’, then Publish your zap.
