What BigQuery datasets are in this project?

Short answer: You can list datasets in Google BigQuery by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Google BigQuery List Datasets action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

Inputs

The fields this action accepts.

Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.

Field	Type	Required	Description
Project ID project_id	string	Required	my-gcp-project-12345
Max Results max_results	number	Optional	–

Sample request

{
  "project_id": "my-gcp-project-12345",
  "max_results": "{{trigger.max_results}}"
}

Returns

{
  "datasets": [
    {
      "location": "US",
      "datasetReference": {
        "datasetId": "analytics_prod",
        "projectId": "my-project"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ

Questions about List Datasets.

What does the List Datasets action do in Google BigQuery?

Returns every dataset in the connected GCP project with name, location, default retention. Useful for resolving dataset names in workflow setup and for inventorying the project's data warehouse structure.

What inputs does List Datasets require?

Required: Project 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 Google BigQuery 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 Datasets support batch operations?

Yes. Run List Datasets inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Google BigQuery's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
