FAQ

Questions about Update Post.

What does the Update Post action do in Typeflo?

Updates an existing Typeflo post: title, slug, body, status (draft/published), feature image, categories, tags, SEO. Common in editorial workflows that re-publish AI-edited or freshness-refreshed posts.

What inputs does Update Post require?

Required: Post 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 Typeflo 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 Update Post support batch operations?

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