FAQ

Questions about Delete Card.

What does the Delete Card action do in Trello?

Permanently deletes a Trello card. Irreversible; prefer Archive Card for everyday cleanup.

What inputs does Delete Card require?

Required: Card 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 Trello 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 Card support batch operations?

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