FAQ

Questions about Delete Pinecone Vectors.

What does the Delete Pinecone Vectors action do in Pinecone?
Removes vectors by ID list, by metadata filter, or by namespace. For "user churned → delete all their vectors" tenant-isolation workflows.
What inputs does Delete Pinecone Vectors require?
Delete Pinecone Vectors has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.
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 Pinecone 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 Delete Pinecone Vectors support batch operations?
Yes. Run Delete Pinecone Vectors inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Pinecone's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
