How do I list folders in a ClickUp space?

Short answer: You can list folders in ClickUp by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the ClickUp List Folders action to a workflow, map its 2 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 Folders.

What does the List Folders action do in ClickUp?

Lists all folders in a ClickUp space along with their IDs and names. Use to populate a folder picker before creating a list.

What inputs does List Folders require?

Required: Space ID. 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 ClickUp returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message ClickUp 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 Folders support batch operations?

Run List Folders 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 ClickUp's rate limits.
