More about this action
Only the bases added to the token under Access, however many the account has — up to 1,000 a page. Permission level is what the person can do in each: read, comment, edit or create, or interfaceOnly when they can only use its interfaces.
Inputs to fill in #
Open an input to choose its value. Keep a fixed value with Text, receive it from Shortcuts, ask when the action runs, or use an Earlier Step. Read how input sources work.
What comes back #
In the action editor, open Output → Returned Value to choose fields for your shortcut. These are the response fields described by the app; a service may omit an optional field or return an empty list. JSON File contains the full response.
| Returned field | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
bases | array | A list of values. |
bases[].id | string | Text value. |
bases[].name | string | Text value. |
bases[].permissionLevel | string | none, read, comment, edit, create or interfaceOnly. |
offset | string | Present when there is another page. |
Run it from Shortcuts #
- Give the action a recognizable name and tap Save.
- In Apple Shortcuts, add Shortcutify’s Execute Action and select the saved action.
- Supply any Param or File slots you bound in the inputs, then run the shortcut.
If the result is unexpected, open Logs in Shortcutify, select the run, and inspect this step’s inputs and response.
This action supports multiple pages of results. Open its Fetch setting to retrieve more pages when one page is not enough. Each page adds a service request.
