What it does
Post text of any length as embeds: cut at paragraphs to Discord's limits (4096 a description, 1024 a field, 25 fields and 6000 characters a message) into numbered pages or as few messages as fit. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Messages in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for anything that can outgrow one embed: rules, a member's answers, a list of records. It cuts at paragraphs, so nothing is lost.
When not to
For a message you've already designed, tick Split if too long on Send message instead.
