FAQ

Questions about Get Template.

What does the Get Template action do in Bannerbear?
Returns the template's configuration including all modifiable layers (text, image, colour) with their default values. Useful for resolving layer names at workflow-build time before generating images.
What inputs does Get Template require?
Required: 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 Bannerbear 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 Get Template support batch operations?
Yes. Run Get Template inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Bannerbear's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
