Post anonymously
Post someone's message without their name, numbered, like confessions. The staff log still knows who.

In a flow
“When a button is clicked, post anonymously.”
/confess text → Post anonymously in #confessions → Reply: Posted as #12.
What it does
Post someone's message without their name, numbered, like confessions. The staff log still knows who. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Community in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for community features: post someone's message without their name, numbered, like confessions. The staff log still knows who.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
