FAQ

Questions about Upload GCS Object.

What does the Upload GCS Object action do in Google Cloud Storage?

Uploads an object from URL, base64, or text content with optional metadata and content-type. For files >32MB, the simple upload path caps out — use resumable uploads via HTTP action.

What inputs does Upload GCS Object require?

Required: Object Name (path), File content (URL/base64/raw). 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 Google Cloud Storage 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 Upload GCS Object support batch operations?

Yes. Run Upload GCS Object inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Google Cloud Storage's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
