How do I rename a SendGrid contact list?

Short answer: You can update list in SendGrid by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the SendGrid Update List action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message SendGrid 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 Update List support batch operations?

Run Update List 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 SendGrid's rate limits.
