In a flow
“When a button is clicked, start a giveaway.”
🎉 Nitro, 1 winner, ends in 1 day
What it does
Post a giveaway people enter by reacting, then pick and announce the winners when it ends. 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: post a giveaway people enter by reacting, then pick and announce the winners when it ends.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
