Protection · Step
Delete and warn
Delete a message, warn its author (a moderation case), and post a short notice that deletes itself.
message.delete_and_warn
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, delete and warn.”
Find links Blocked → Delete and warn: No links here.
What it does
Delete a message, warn its author (a moderation case), and post a short notice that deletes itself. 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 Protection in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to keep the server safe: delete a message, warn its author (a moderation case), and post a short notice that deletes itself.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
