In a flow
“When a button is clicked, delete their recent messages.”
Remove recent joiners → for each → Delete their recent messages (last 30 minutes).
What it does
Delete a member's messages from the last few minutes in every text channel (up to 100 per channel, 25 channels). 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 member's messages from the last few minutes in every text channel (up to 100 per channel, 25 channels).
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
