FAQ
Questions about List Books.
What does the List Books action do in BookStack?
Returns every book in the connected BookStack instance with name, description, page count, last update. Useful for resolving book IDs at workflow-build time when creating new pages.
What inputs does List Books require?
List Books 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 BookStack 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 Books support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Books inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles BookStack's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
