Post a poll, then announce the winning answer when it closes. The flow doesn't wait.

In a flow
“When a button is clicked, poll with results.”
Which map next? → 'Desert won with 12 votes'
What it does
Post a poll, then announce the winning answer when it closes. The flow doesn't wait. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Find it under Community in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for community features: post a poll, then announce the winning answer when it closes. The flow doesn't wait.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
