FAQ

Questions about Get Grafana Dashboard.

What does the Get Grafana Dashboard action do in Grafana?

Returns the dashboard's JSON model — panels, queries, data-source references, layout. For dashboards-as-code workflows that diff JSON across environments or back up dashboards to Git.

What inputs does Get Grafana Dashboard require?

Required: Dashboard UID. 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 Grafana returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Grafana 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 Get Grafana Dashboard support batch operations?

Run Get Grafana Dashboard 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 Grafana's rate limits.
