Show a count in a channel name
Rename a channel to show a number, like Members: 1,204. It only renames when the number changed, and waits when Discord's limit of 2 renames in 10 minutes is reached.

In a flow
“When a button is clicked, show a count in a channel name.”
Every 10 minutes → Member numbers → Show a count in a channel name.
What it does
Rename a channel to show a number, like Members: 1,204. It only renames when the number changed, and waits when Discord's limit of 2 renames in 10 minutes is reached. 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 Statistics in the palette.
When to use it
Stats channels: a voice channel named Members: 1,204, updated every 10 minutes.
When not to
Discord allows 2 renames in 10 minutes per channel, so updating it more often than that does nothing.
