Select a random member from a channel

Use either the /rando slash command to use the pre-coded text or use the Workflow Builder "step from app" with the channel the workflow is called from and the user who called it. Then make a step to have a message using the Random User.

This is set up to exclude the user who called the command or workflow as well as excluding all apps and bots.
