Look up a user by ID
Anyone on Discord by their ID, even if they aren't in the server: their name, how old the account is, and if they're banned here.
user.lookup
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, look up a user by ID.”
Report form → Look up a user by ID {answer.id} → staff card with As text.
What it does
Anyone on Discord by their ID, even if they aren't in the server: their name, how old the account is, and if they're banned here. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 10 values later steps can use. Find it under Members & roles in the palette.
When to use it
Check an ID from a scam report or an appeal: who it is, how new the account is, whether they're here and whether they're banned, even after they left.
When not to
Whether they're banned needs the Ban Members permission; without it, Banned here is off and the text says it wasn't checked. At most 20 lookups a minute per server.
Typical wiring

Their ID or mention, like 123456789012345678. Variables allowed.
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.
