What it does
Post a Discord poll with up to 10 answers. 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 when the flow needs to post a Discord poll with up to 10 answers.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
