What Canny boards exist?
Short answer: You can list boards in Canny by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Canny List Boards action to a workflow, map its 0 inputs 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 Boards.
What does the List Boards action do in Canny?
Returns every board in the connected workspace with name, slug, post count. Useful for resolving board IDs at workflow-build time when creating new posts.
What inputs does List Boards require?
List Boards 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 Canny returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Canny 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 Boards support batch operations?
Run List Boards 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 Canny's rate limits.
