FAQ

Questions about Get Crawl Status.

What does the Get Crawl Status action do in Firecrawl?
Returns the current status of a running crawl — pages crawled, pages discovered, completion percentage. Poll until status=completed before consuming results.
What inputs does Get Crawl Status require?
Required: Crawl 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 Firecrawl 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 Get Crawl Status support batch operations?
Yes. Run Get Crawl Status inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Firecrawl's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
