In a flow
“When a button is clicked, count a staff action.”
Audit log entry → Count a staff action (ban, 3 in 10 minutes) → If Over limit → Strip staff roles.
What it does
Count what a staff member did in the last few minutes, for each kind of action, and say whether it's over a limit. 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 Protection in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to keep the server safe: count what a staff member did in the last few minutes, for each kind of action, and say whether it's over a limit.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Who Member
-
The staff member who did it. Wire in Who did it from the audit log trigger.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a member. e.g. @Alex
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
