How do I list Twist channels in a workspace?
Short answer: You can list channels in Twist by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Twist List Channels 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.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Workspace ID workspace_id | string | Required | – |
Sample request
{"workspace_id": "{{trigger.workspace_id}}"}
Returns
[{"id": 1,"name": "general","workspace_id": 100}]
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about List Channels.
What does the List Channels action do in Twist?
Lists every channel in the chosen Twist workspace. Use to build a channel picker before posting a thread or comment.
What inputs does List Channels require?
Required: Workspace 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 Twist returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Twist 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 List Channels support batch operations?
Run List Channels 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 Twist's rate limits.
