Create poll from a list
Post a Discord poll whose answers come from a list the flow made, like this week's nominations.
poll.from_list
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, create poll from a list.”
Table keys nominations → Create poll from a list → Wait 24h → Poll results.
What it does
Post a Discord poll whose answers come from a list the flow made, like this week's nominations. 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 whose answers come from a list the flow made, like this week's nominations.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
