What tables exist in this Coda doc?

Short answer: You can list tables in Coda by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Coda List Tables 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 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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Coda 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 Tables support batch operations?
Run List Tables 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 Coda's rate limits.
