In a flow
“When a button is clicked, forum posts.”
/recent-help → Forum posts in #help → Reply with As text.
What it does
The newest posts in a forum, with their names and links. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 3 values later steps can use. Find it under Channels in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the flow works with channels: the newest posts in a forum, with their names and links.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.

Sockets: settings you can wire

The forum channel.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a channel. e.g. #general
