How do I list Airtable bases?

Short answer: You can list bases in Airtable by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Airtable List Bases action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about List Bases.

What does the List Bases action do in Airtable?
Lists all bases accessible to the authenticated user with name and permission level. Used to populate a base picker before drilling into tables.
What inputs does List Bases require?
List Bases has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Airtable returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does List Bases support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Bases inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Airtable's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
