What it does
The special permission rules a channel has for roles and members, in words. 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: the special permission rules a channel has for roles and members, in words.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Channel Channel
-
The channel. Empty is the one this happened in.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a channel. e.g. #general
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
