How to add gif to insight/other ability checks?

I've been able to do it for weapons by adding [Greataxe](<a href="https://media.giphy.com/media/Ea29xNsCMRDSU/giphy.gif" rel="nofollow">https://media.giphy.com/media/Ea29xNsCMRDSU/giphy.gif</a>) into the deceptions for those but I saw somebody had it for ability checks the other day &nbsp; &nbsp; My question is how do I do this? And is there a way I can save all my ability check gifs somewhere so when I join a new campaign I have them all?

When you say you saw it, do you mean you actually clicked the buttons? I.e. were these the behavior of clicking the button on a character sheet (probably impossible, or at least really hard), or a custom macro/ability (pretty easy, but would require some setup time).
I attached the photo of what showed up in the chatbox when they were asked to do an insight check. I put my macro on my sheet for weapons etc but can't for ability checks so it must be some custom macro? How would I go about setting this up for my abilities?

There is indeed a custom ability in the sheet for each skill check. For instance, this would do something similar to what you are looking for: %{selected|insight} &amp;{template:desc} {{desc=[x](<a href="https://media.giphy.com/media/Ea29xNsCMRDSU/giphy.gif" rel="nofollow">https://media.giphy.com/media/Ea29xNsCMRDSU/giphy.gif</a>)}} The first line runs the Insight check, the second displays the image. These would be stored in a custom macro if you wanted them to be available to all players automatically, or as an ability on your character sheet. The example above looks like it was built from scracth, and you might be able to come up with something by reading through the section on roll templates available on the OGL sheet .
That works! As you mentioned his must be from scratch but this is just as good! Thank you so much for your help :D
