Send layout
Post a layout message built from parts, here, in a channel, or in someone's DMs.
layout.send
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, send layout.”
Layout text + Layout gallery → Send layout in #showcase.
What it does
Post a layout message built from parts, here, in a channel, or in someone's DMs. 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 post a layout message built from parts, here, in a channel, or in someone's DMs.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
