What it does
Copy a message to another channel under the original author's 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 1 value later steps can use. Find it under Community in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for community features: copy a message to another channel under the original author's name and picture.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
