How do I query Attio people records?

Short answer: You can list or query people in Attio by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Attio List or Query People action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about List or Query People.

What does the List or Query People action do in Attio?
Returns paginated people, optionally filtered by attribute values, list memberships, or recent activity. Useful for "all people in this list, fan out the campaign" or "sync all updated-since-yesterday records to the warehouse" patterns.
What inputs does List or Query People require?
List or Query People 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 Attio 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 List or Query People support batch operations?
Yes. Run List or Query People inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Attio's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
