customer_io.search_customers
ActionCRM & salesconnection required

Calls the Customer.io API with the connection's credentials.

Find people with an audience filter, the same segment and attribute conditions the dashboard builds, and page through the identifiers it returns.

Connection

Required
Yes — the node will not save without one
Auth type
API key
Providers
Customer.io
Secret shape
{"site_id": "…", "api_key": "…", "app_api_key": "…"} — the Site ID and Track API key for the Track nodes, the App API key for the rest
Config it needs

Resolved by
config.connection_id, else node.connection_id

Configuration

3 fields, 1 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.

FieldTypeRequiredDefaultConstraintsExample
filter
The audience filter, as a JSON object. Combine 'and', 'or' and 'not' around 'segment' and 'attribute' conditions. An empty filter is refused; Customer.io has nothing to match it against.
objectYes—≥ 1 characters{"and":[{"segment":{"id":7}}]}
limit
How many people to return per page. Customer.io defaults to 50 and caps this at 1000.
numberNo—1–1000—
start
The paging token to continue from: the 'next' value a previous page returned.
stringNo———

Example configuration

Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.

{
  "filter": {
    "and": [
      {
        "segment": {
          "id": 7
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Output

One shape.

See Search People run in a workflow.

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.
