Runs steps “In the new channel”
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, create channel.”
Steps wired from “In the new channel” run inside the place it makes, then the flow carries on. How scopes work
What it does
Make a text or voice channel. 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 new channel" run inside the place it makes, then the flow carries on. Find it under Messages in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the flow needs to make a text or voice channel.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire

Channel name. Variables allowed.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Needed. Publish lists it until it's set or wired; the step can't run without it.
