What inputs does Send SQS Message require?

Required: Queue URL, Message Body. 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 AWS SQS 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 Send SQS Message support batch operations?

Yes. Run Send SQS Message inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles AWS SQS's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
