How do I search Square customers?
Short answer: You can search square customers in Square by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Square Search Square Customers action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Email (exact) email | string | Optional | The email address. Used as the recipient or identifier depending on context. |
Phone (exact) phone | string | Optional | Phone number in E.164 format (with country code, no spaces). |
Limit limit | string | Optional | – |
Sample request
{"email": "e.g. user@example.com","phone": "e.g. +14155551234","limit": "{{trigger.limit}}"}
Returns
{"customers": [{"id": "ABC","given_name": "Jane","email_address": "jane@acme.com"}]}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Search Square Customers.
What does the Search Square Customers action do in Square?
Lookup by email, phone, name. For "find existing customer record by phone" POS workflows.
What inputs does Search Square Customers require?
Search Square Customers 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 Square returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Square returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Search Square Customers support batch operations?
Run Search Square Customers inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Square's rate limits.
