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 |
|---|---|---|---|
SQL Statement statement | string | Required | SQL Statement. e.g. "SELECT * FROM my_table LIMIT 10" |
Sample request
{"statement": "SELECT * FROM my_table LIMIT 10"}

FAQ
Questions about Snowflake Execute SQL.
What does the Snowflake Execute SQL action do in Snowflake?
Executes a SQL query against Snowflake. Compute cost = warehouse-size × runtime, so tight queries on partitioned columns save real money. For nightly KPI rollups or for ad-hoc BI reports.
What inputs does Snowflake Execute SQL require?
Required: SQL Statement. 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 Snowflake 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 Snowflake Execute SQL support batch operations?
Yes. Run Snowflake Execute SQL inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Snowflake's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
