Grey out buttons
Disable (or take off) every button and menu on a message the bot posted, so nobody clicks it twice.

In a flow
“When a button is clicked, grey out buttons.”
When a layout button is clicked claim → Grey out buttons → Reply: claimed!
What it does
Disable (or take off) every button and menu on a message the bot posted, so nobody clicks it twice. 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. Find it under Messages in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the flow needs to disable (or take off) every button and menu on a message the bot posted, so nobody clicks it twice.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Message Message
-
The bot's message with the buttons: a link, an id, or wire one in. Empty is the one clicked.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a message. e.g. a link to the message
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
