How do I cancel an Anthropic message batch?

Short answer: You can cancel message batch in Anthropic by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Anthropic Cancel Message Batch 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 Cancel Message Batch.

What does the Cancel Message Batch action do in Anthropic?
Cancels a message batch that is still processing. Already-completed entries in the batch keep their results; in-flight ones get cancelled with no charge.
What inputs does Cancel Message Batch require?
Required: Batch ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
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 Anthropic returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Anthropic returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Cancel Message Batch support batch operations?
Run Cancel Message Batch inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Anthropic's rate limits.
