What it does
Pick and announce a giveaway's winners now, instead of when its time is up. 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 Community in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for community features: pick and announce a giveaway's winners now, instead of when its time is up.
When not to
