FAQ
Questions about Authorize B2 Account.
What does the Authorize B2 Account action do in Backblaze B2?
B2's two-step auth — exchanges the application key for a short-lived (24h) session token used for actual operations. The runtime caches the token, so most workflows don't call this directly; it's mostly for explicit re-auth or for debugging.
What inputs does Authorize B2 Account require?
Authorize B2 Account 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 Backblaze B2 returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Backblaze B2 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 Authorize B2 Account support batch operations?
Run Authorize B2 Account 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 Backblaze B2's rate limits.
