FAQ

Questions about List Branches.

What does the List Branches action do in Bitbucket?
Returns the repository's branches with last commit info. Useful for "find branches that haven't been touched in 90+ days for cleanup" maintenance workflows.
What inputs does List Branches require?
Required: Workspace, Repository Slug. 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 Bitbucket 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 Branches support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Branches inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Bitbucket's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
