Event

Event flows react to Discord activity or inbound webhooks instead of user commands. This block is placed automatically by the builder. You cannot add it from the block palette.

​

What it does

Subscribes to a discord.js client event (such as messageCreate or guildMemberAdd) or exposes an HTTP webhook path. When the event fires, blocks connected below run in order.

​

Common uses

• Welcome messages — Run on guildMemberAdd to greet new members.
• Auto moderation — React to messageCreate with filters and actions.
• External triggers — Start flows from outside Discord via webhook POST requests.

​

Configuration

Open the block in the builder sidebar to configure these fields.

​

Tips

​

Important

• This bot’s own messages never trigger event flows, even when author filters are broad.
