DM, or post here if closed
Send them a DM; when their DMs are closed, post it here with their mention instead.

In a flow
“When a button is clicked, DM, or post here if closed.”
Your order is ready! → DM, else #orders
What it does
Send them a DM; when their DMs are closed, post it here with their mention instead. 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 send them a DM; when their DMs are closed, post it here with their mention instead.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
