How do I create a Typeflo category?

Short answer: You can create category in Typeflo by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Typeflo Create Category action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Category.

What does the Create Category action do in Typeflo?

Creates a new blog category in Typeflo with name, slug, and description. Use to scaffold sections of your blog programmatically.

What inputs does Create Category require?

Required: Name. 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 Typeflo returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Typeflo 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 Create Category support batch operations?

Run Create Category 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 Typeflo's rate limits.
