FAQ

Questions about List Salesforce Records.

What does the List Salesforce Records action do in Salesforce?

Paginated records of a specific SObject with filters. For "all opportunities in this pipeline" or "leads created since timestamp" sync workflows.

What inputs does List Salesforce Records require?

Required: Object Type. 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 Salesforce 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 List Salesforce Records support batch operations?

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