FAQ

Questions about List Sheet Tabs.

What does the List Sheet Tabs action do in Google Sheets?

Lists all sheet tabs in a Google Sheets spreadsheet with their IDs and titles. Used to populate a tab picker before reading or writing.

What inputs does List Sheet Tabs require?

Required: Spreadsheet 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 Google Sheets 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 Sheet Tabs support batch operations?

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