How do I list every Gmail label?

Short answer: You can list labels in Gmail by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Gmail List Labels action to a workflow, map its 0 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about List Labels.

What does the List Labels action do in Gmail?

Lists all labels in your Gmail account (system labels like INBOX/UNREAD/IMPORTANT plus your custom ones). Used to populate a label picker.

What inputs does List Labels require?

List Labels 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 Gmail returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Gmail 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 List Labels support batch operations?

Run List Labels 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 Gmail's rate limits.
