FAQ

Questions about List Tables.

What does the List Tables action do in Coda?
Returns every table in a doc with name and row count. Useful for resolving table IDs at workflow-build time and for inventorying doc structure.
What inputs does List Tables require?
Required: Doc 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 Coda 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 Tables support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Tables inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Coda's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
