FAQ

Questions about List Outline Collections.

What does the List Outline Collections action do in Outline?

Returns every collection (top-level docs container) the user can see. Useful for resolving collection IDs at workflow setup.

What inputs does List Outline Collections require?

List Outline Collections 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 Outline returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Outline 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 Outline Collections support batch operations?

Run List Outline Collections 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 Outline's rate limits.
