Ask a question and wait for the answer.
ask
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, ask.”
What it does
Ask a question and wait for the answer. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Find it under Messages in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the flow needs to ask a question and wait for the answer.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
Typical wiring
Values it gives

If it's empty: Empty when the step didn't make one (it stopped early or was skipped); steps reading it get nothing.
