Storage · Step
Start a cooldown
Start a named cooldown now, even if one is running (it starts again from now).
cooldown.start
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, start a cooldown.”
Used → Start a cooldown spin 30m.
What it does
Start a named cooldown now, even if one is running (it starts again from now). 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 Storage in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to keep something between runs: start a named cooldown now, even if one is running (it starts again from now).
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
