What it does
Start a thread on the message this flow is about, and run steps in it. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Steps wired from "In the thread" run inside the place it makes, then the flow carries on. Find it under Community in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for community features: start a thread on the message this flow is about, and run steps in it.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
