How do I list YouTube playlists?

FAQ

Questions about List Playlists.

What does the List Playlists action do in YouTube?

Lists playlists owned by the authenticated YouTube channel with title, item count, and privacy. Used to populate a playlist picker before adding a video.

What inputs does List Playlists require?

List Playlists 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 YouTube returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message YouTube 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 Playlists support batch operations?

Run List Playlists 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 YouTube's rate limits.
