FAQ

Questions about Crawl Site.

What does the Crawl Site action do in Tavily?

Crawls a website starting from the given URL and returns clean Markdown for every reachable page. Best for RAG ingestion, knowledge-base imports, or competitive content scrapes.

What inputs does Crawl Site require?

Required: Starting URL. 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 Tavily 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 Crawl Site support batch operations?

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