Create Segment
customer_io.create_segment
ActionCRM & salesconnection required
Calls the Customer.io API with the connection's credentials.
Create a manual segment whose membership this workflow controls. Data-driven segments compute their own membership and can only be defined in the dashboard.

In a technical demo we add the Customer.io connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
