Set an alarm
Keep a note that something is due at a time, with a message and a member. A flow that runs every minute (Alarms that are due) picks them up. For reminders you want to list and cancel.
alarm.set
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, set an alarm.”
/remind → Set an alarm 2h → ... Every minute → Alarms that are due → DM.
What it does
Keep a note that something is due at a time, with a message and a member. A flow that runs every minute (Alarms that are due) picks them up. For reminders you want to list and cancel. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 3 values later steps can use. Find it under Storage in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to keep something between runs: keep a note that something is due at a time, with a message and a member. A flow that runs every minute (Alarms that are due) picks them up. For reminders you want to list and cancel.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
