Hold new accounts
If a member's Discord account is newer than some days, give them a holding role and DM them why.
raid.hold_new
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, hold new accounts.”
Member joins → Hold new accounts (under 7 days, @Unverified).
What it does
If a member's Discord account is newer than some days, give them a holding role and DM them why. 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: if a member's Discord account is newer than some days, give them a holding role and DM them why.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
