Start a post in a forum channel, with tags.
forum.create_post
Runs steps “In the new post”
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, create forum post.”
Post each suggestion in #ideas, tagged New.
Steps wired from “In the new post” run inside the place it makes, then the flow carries on. How scopes work
What it does
Start a post in a forum channel, with tags. 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 post" run inside the place it makes, then the flow carries on. Find it under Channels in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the flow works with channels: start a post in a forum channel, with tags.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.

What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a channel. e.g. #general
If it's empty: Needed. Publish lists it until it's set or wired; the step can't run without it.
