FAQ

Questions about Select Rows.

What does the Select Rows action do in Supabase?
Selects rows from a Supabase table with optional filters, order, and limit. Supports joined selects via the PostgREST embed syntax (e.g. *, author(name)).
What inputs does Select Rows require?
Required: Table 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 Supabase 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 Select Rows support batch operations?
Yes. Run Select Rows inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Supabase's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
