Forward message
Forward a message to another channel the way Discord's Forward does, showing where it came from.
message.forward
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, forward message.”
React ⭐ → Forward message to #highlights.
What it does
Forward a message to another channel the way Discord's Forward does, showing where it came from. 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 forward a message to another channel the way Discord's Forward does, showing where it came from.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Message Message
-
The message to forward: a link, an id, or wire one in. Empty is the one it's about.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a message. e.g. a link to the message
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
