FAQ

Questions about Get Media Stats.

What does the Get Media Stats action do in Wistia?
Returns engagement statistics for a Wistia media (load count, play count, play rate, hours watched). Use for content reports or for in-app analytics widgets.
What inputs does Get Media Stats require?
Required: Hashed 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 Wistia 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 Get Media Stats support batch operations?
Yes. Run Get Media Stats inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Wistia's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
