Server · Step
Create event
Schedule a server event in a voice channel, a stage or somewhere else.
event.create
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, create event.”
Schedule movie night in #Cinema for tomorrow.
What it does
Schedule a server event in a voice channel, a stage or somewhere else. 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 Server in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the flow changes the server itself: schedule a server event in a voice channel, a stage or somewhere else.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
