FAQ

Questions about Update List.

What does the Update List action do in SendGrid?
Updates a SendGrid contact list's name. Use to keep list names aligned with your campaign naming convention.
What inputs does Update List require?
Required: List ID, New Name. 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?
