Get a birthday
A member's saved birthday, how old they'll be, and how long until it.
birthday.get
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, get a birthday.”
/birthday-of @Sam → Get a birthday → Reply: {node.g.date}, in {node.g.days} days.
What it does
A member's saved birthday, how old they'll be, and how long until it. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 4 values later steps can use. Find it under Community in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for community features: A member's saved birthday, how old they'll be, and how long until it.
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.
