FAQ

Questions about Create Video Room.

What does the Create Video Room action do in Daily?

Creates a Daily video room with optional config (recording mode, expiry, max participants). Returns the room URL participants visit. The standard hook for "calendar booking landed → create the meeting room and email participants".

What inputs does Create Video Room require?

Create Video Room 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 Daily returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Daily 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 Create Video Room support batch operations?

Run Create Video Room 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 Daily's rate limits.
