FAQ

Questions about Update Project.

What does the Update Project action do in Todoist?

Updates a Todoist project's name, color, view style, or favorite flag. Used for housekeeping or in templating flows that re-skin projects.

What inputs does Update Project require?

Required: Project 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 Update Project support batch operations?

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