Can they in channel
Whether a member can do something in a channel, counting their roles and the channel's rules.
channel.can_member
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, can they in channel.”
/check → Can they in channel (send messages) → Reply.
What it does
Whether a member can do something in a channel, counting their roles and the channel's rules. 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 Channels in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the flow works with channels: whether a member can do something in a channel, counting their roles and the channel's rules.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
