How do I rename a SendGrid contact list?
Short answer: Drop the "SendGrid → Update List" action anywhere in your workflow, map the inputs from upstream nodes, and publish.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
List ID list_id | string | Required | The List ID assigned by Sendgrid. Find via the corresponding list/search operation in this app. Use the exact ID, not a name or label. |
New Name name | string | Required | New Name |
Sample request
{"list_id": "{{trigger.list_id}}","name": "{{trigger.name}}"}
Returns
{"id": "abc-123","name": "Renamed List"}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

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?
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 SendGrid 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 Update List support batch operations?
Yes. Run Update List inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles SendGrid's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
