Cancel a timer
Stop every later step with this name before it happens.
timer.cancel
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, cancel a timer.”
Cancel the mute timer when staff lift it early
What it does
Stop every later step with this name before it happens. 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 Timers & delays in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when timing matters: stop every later step with this name before it happens.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Timer name Text needed
-
The name the later steps were given, like mute. Variables allowed.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Needed. Publish lists it until it's set or wired; the step can't run without it.
