text.find_mentions
In a flow
“Works out find mentions whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
"thanks @Sam in #help" → members [123…], channels [456…]
What it does
The members, roles and channels a text mentions, as IDs. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 4 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: the members, roles and channels a text mentions, as IDs.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Text Text
-
The text to read, like a message.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
