How do I list Shopify collections?

Short answer: You can list collections in Shopify by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Shopify List Collections action to a workflow, map its 3 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 List Collections.

What does the List Collections action do in Shopify?
Retrieves custom collections from your Shopify store with title, handle, and product count. Used for navigation feeds or for scoping bulk operations to a collection.
What inputs does List Collections require?
List 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 Shopify returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Shopify 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 Collections support batch operations?
Run List 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 Shopify's rate limits.
