FAQ

Questions about List Folders.

What does the List Folders action do in ClickUp?

Lists all folders in a ClickUp space along with their IDs and names. Use to populate a folder picker before creating a list.

What inputs does List Folders require?

Required: Space 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 ClickUp 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 Folders support batch operations?

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