Poll results
Read a poll's answers and how many votes each one has.
poll.results
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, poll results.”
When the poll ends, post the winner.
What it does
Read a poll's answers and how many votes each one has. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 7 values later steps can use. Find it under Messages in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the flow needs to read a poll's answers and how many votes each one has.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire

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.
