FAQ

Questions about Create Label.

What does the Create Label action do in Todoist?

Creates a new personal label in Todoist, optionally with a color. Useful for syncing your tag taxonomy from another system.

What inputs does Create Label require?

Required: Name. 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 Todoist 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 Create Label support batch operations?

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