FAQ

Questions about List Incidents.

What does the List Incidents action do in Better Stack?
Returns active and historical incidents with filters by status and time range. For "what's currently firing" dashboards or "weekly incident report" rollups to the team.
What inputs does List Incidents require?
List Incidents 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 Better Stack 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 List Incidents support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Incidents inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Better Stack's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
