FAQ

Questions about Create Auth Session.

What does the Create Auth Session action do in Bluesky?
Bluesky's session-based auth — exchanges identifier + app password for a JWT used on subsequent calls. Runtime usually handles this automatically; called directly only for explicit re-auth or debugging session expiry.
What inputs does Create Auth Session require?
Create Auth Session 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 Bluesky 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 Create Auth Session support batch operations?
Yes. Run Create Auth Session inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Bluesky's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
