How do I list KoBoToolbox submissions?
Short answer: You can get kobotoolbox submissions in KoBoToolbox by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the KoBoToolbox Get KoBoToolbox Submissions action to a workflow, map its 2 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 Get KoBoToolbox Submissions.
What does the Get KoBoToolbox Submissions action do in KoBoToolbox?
Paginated historical submissions for a specific form. For backfill workflows or for "weekly export to warehouse" data-pipeline patterns.
What inputs does Get KoBoToolbox Submissions require?
Required: Form 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 KoBoToolbox returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message KoBoToolbox 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 KoBoToolbox Submissions support batch operations?
Run Get KoBoToolbox Submissions 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 KoBoToolbox's rate limits.
