Make a code
Make a random code or id, like a gift code or an order number. It stays the same for the rest of the run.

In a flow
“When a button is clicked, make a code.”
Make an 8-character code and DM it as a gift code.
What it does
Make a random code or id, like a gift code or an order number. It stays the same for the rest of the run. 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 Utility & web in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for odds and ends: make a random code or id, like a gift code or an order number. It stays the same for the rest of the run.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.

How many characters, 4 to 64.
