FAQ

Questions about List Comments.

What does the List Comments action do in Todoist?
Lists comments on a specific Todoist task or project. Use to build a discussion timeline or to export conversation history.
What inputs does List Comments require?
List Comments 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 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 List Comments support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Comments inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Todoist's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
