In a flow
“When a message is deleted, the steps wired after it run.”
Log 'A message by @Sam was deleted in #general'.
What it does
A message is deleted, by its author or by staff. If the bot hadn't seen the message, only its ID and channel are known. It starts a flow, and gives the steps after it values about what happened. It gives 5 values later steps can use. Find it under Starts when in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to start a flow when a message is deleted.
When not to
