How do I list authors on my Typeflo blog?
Short answer: You can list authors in Typeflo by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Typeflo List Authors action to a workflow, map its 0 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 List Authors.
What does the List Authors action do in Typeflo?
Lists all authors on the Typeflo blog with bio, avatar, and slug. Use it to populate an author picker before creating a post.
What inputs does List Authors require?
List Authors has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.
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 List Authors support batch operations?
Run List Authors 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.
