FAQ

Questions about List Projects.

What does the List Projects action do in Tableau?

Lists the projects (folders) on a Tableau site, the containers that hold workbooks and datasources. Typically used to build a project picker before publishing.

What inputs does List Projects require?

List Projects 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 Tableau 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 List Projects support batch operations?

Yes. Run List Projects inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Tableau's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
