FAQ

Questions about List Posts.

What does the List Posts action do in Canny?

Paginated posts filterable by board, status (Open, Under Review, Planned, In Progress, Complete, Closed), and recently active. Useful for "weekly digest of new feedback" workflows that the product team consumes.

What inputs does List Posts require?

Required: Board 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 Canny 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 List Posts support batch operations?

Yes. Run List Posts inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Canny's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
