FAQ

Questions about Update List.

What does the Update List action do in Trello?

Updates a Trello list's name or position. Use when list names track sprint numbers, weeks, or release versions that change over time.

What inputs does Update List require?

Required: List 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 Update List support batch operations?

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