FAQ

Questions about List Pull Requests.

What does the List Pull Requests action do in GitHub?
Lists pull requests in a repository with filters for state (open/closed/all), head, base, and sort. Used for review-queue dashboards and stale-PR cleanup.
What inputs does List Pull Requests require?
Required: Repository Owner, Repository Name. 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 GitHub 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 Pull Requests support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Pull Requests inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles GitHub's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
