In a flow
“When a button is clicked, delete recent messages.”
Delete the last 50 messages from bots.
What it does
Bulk delete up to 100 recent messages, with filters. Messages older than 14 days are left. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. Find it under Channels in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the flow works with channels: bulk delete up to 100 recent messages, with filters. Messages older than 14 days are left.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
