Text to channel

Turn a saved id or mention into a channel or thread you can post in, like a thread id kept in a variable.

Free plan convert.to_channel

In a flow

“Works out text to channel whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”

What it does

Turn a saved id or mention into a channel or thread you can post in, like a thread id kept in a variable. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.

When to use it

Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: turn a saved id or mention into a channel or thread you can post in, like a thread id kept in a variable.

When not to

For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.

Typical wiring

Sockets: settings you can wire

Text Text

An id, a mention or a link, like a thread id saved earlier as {var.thread}.

What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there

If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
