How do I fetch a Todoist label by ID?

Short answer: You can get label in Todoist by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Todoist Get Label action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Get Label.

What does the Get Label action do in Todoist?
Returns a single personal label by ID with its name, color, and order.
What inputs does Get Label require?
Required: Label 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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Todoist 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 Get Label support batch operations?
Run Get Label 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 Todoist's rate limits.
