Make a webhook
Make a webhook in a channel that other steps can post through under its own name and picture.
webhook.create
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, make a webhook.”
Setup → Make a webhook Announcer → Post as webhook.
What it does
Make a webhook in a channel that other steps can post through under its own name and picture. 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 Protection in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to keep the server safe: make a webhook in a channel that other steps can post through under its own name and picture.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
Typical wiring

What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a channel. e.g. #general
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
