Questions about List Blobs in Container.
What does the List Blobs in Container action do in Azure Blob Storage?
Returns paginated blobs within a container with optional prefix filter ("list all PDFs under invoices/2026/"). Useful for batch-processing workflows that need to discover all blobs matching a pattern.
What inputs does List Blobs in Container require?
Required: Container. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

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 Azure Blob Storage returns an error?

Action
Delete Blob
Removes a specific blob from a container. Irreversible. For workflows that need to clean up temporary blobs after processing (transcoded video files, scrap downloads, expired exports), this is the cleanup action.
ActionUpload Blob
Uploads a blob from base64 content, text, or fetched URL with content-type and custom metadata. For files >100MB, the simple-shot upload caps out — use block-blob multipart uploads via HTTP action for larger files.
