Back from AFK
Clear a member's AFK note, and say how long they were away. Put it on their next message.
afk.clear
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, back from AFK.”
When a message is sent → Back from AFK → If Was away → Reply: Welcome back, you were away {node.b.away}.
What it does
Clear a member's AFK note, and say how long they were away. Put it on their next message. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Community in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for community features: clear a member's AFK note, and say how long they were away. Put it on their next message.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Who Member
-
Leave unwired for the member who started the flow, or wire one in, like Member from Find member.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a member. e.g. @Alex
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
