FAQ

Questions about Update Folk Person.

What does the Update Folk Person action do in Folk?

Partial update — only passed fields change. For "Clearbit enriched this person → write back to Folk" augmentation workflows.

What inputs does Update Folk Person require?

Required: Person 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 Folk returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Folk 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 Update Folk Person support batch operations?

Run Update Folk Person 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 Folk's rate limits.
