Report to staff
Send a message, its author and the reporter's reason to the staff channel, with a link.
community.report
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, report to staff.”
Message command Report → Ask why (form) → Report to staff → Reply: Thanks, the staff will look.
What it does
Send a message, its author and the reporter's reason to the staff channel, with a link. 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. Find it under Community in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for community features: send a message, its author and the reporter's reason to the staff channel, with a link.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
