FAQ
Questions about Delete Section.
What does the Delete Section action do in Todoist?
Deletes a section in a Todoist project; tasks inside the section move back to the project root instead of being deleted.
What inputs does Delete Section require?
Required: Section ID. 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 Todoist 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 Delete Section support batch operations?
Yes. Run Delete Section inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Todoist's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
