In a flow
“When a button is clicked, replied-to message.”
Message !quote as a reply → Replied-to message → Quote message to #quotes.
What it does
The message a reply answers: who wrote it, what it says, and its link. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 4 values later steps can use. Find it under Messages in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the flow needs to the message a reply answers: who wrote it, what it says, and its link.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.

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.
