ActionCircleCIUpdated May 2026
How do I list recent CircleCI pipelines?
Short answer: Drop the "CircleCI → List Pipelines" action anywhere in your workflow, map the inputs from upstream nodes, and publish.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Project Slug project_slug | string | Required | Project Slug. Example: gh/acme-corp/my-project |
Branch branch | string | Optional | Branch. Example: main |
Sample request
{"project_slug": "e.g. gh/acme-corp/my-project","branch": "e.g. main"}
Returns
{"items": [{"id": "abc-123","state": "created","number": 42,"created_at": "2025-01-15T12:00:00Z"}]}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about List Pipelines.
What does the List Pipelines action do in CircleCI?
Returns paginated pipelines for a project with state and branch filters. Useful for "what shipped this week" reports and for CI-health monitoring workflows.
What inputs does List Pipelines require?
Required: Project 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 CircleCI 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 Pipelines support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Pipelines inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles CircleCI's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.

Stops an in-flight workflow. Useful for "downstream check failed, short-circuit the rest of the pipeline" cascading workflows or for emergency stop on accidental production deploys.
ActionGet Pipeline
Returns a pipeline by ID with its workflows, jobs, and current state. The standard lookup for workflows that triggered a pipeline and need to poll for completion before proceeding.
ActionTrigger Pipeline
Starts a CI run with optional branch and parameter overrides. Useful for "Linear issue moved to deploy → trigger production pipeline" or "rollback requested → trigger pipeline with deploy_version=X parameter" patterns.
