Every day → Pick without repeats qotd (the questions) → Send message.
What it does
A random item that hasn't come up yet, until every one has, then it starts again. For a question of the day. 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 Storage in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for a question of the day, a daily tip or a featured member: nothing repeats until every item has had its turn.
When not to
Take turns goes in order instead; this one is random.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- List List
-
Who or what takes turns, like a list of members.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a list. e.g. Hello there, and more like it
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
