In a flow
“When a button is clicked, quote message to channel.”
Quote it in #highlights
What it does
Post a message as a quote card in another channel, with a link back to it. 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 Community in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for community features: post a message as a quote card in another channel, with a link back to it.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.

The channel the quote goes to, like #highlights.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a channel. e.g. #general
If it's empty: Needed. Publish lists it until it's set or wired; the step can't run without it.
