FAQ

Questions about Get Batch.

What does the Get Batch action do in OpenAI?

Retrieves a batch by ID to check status (validating, in_progress, finalizing, completed, failed) and download the output_file_id when complete. Poll every few minutes.

What inputs does Get Batch require?

Required: Batch ID. 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 OpenAI 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 Get Batch support batch operations?

Yes. Run Get Batch inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles OpenAI's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
