ActionBookStackUpdated September 2026
What books are in this BookStack instance?
Short answer: You can list books in BookStack by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the BookStack List Books action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message BookStack returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does List Books support batch operations?
Run List Books inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within BookStack's rate limits.
