How do I fetch a Stripe customer?

Short answer: You can get customer in Stripe by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Stripe Get Customer action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Get Customer.

What does the Get Customer action do in Stripe?
Retrieves a Stripe customer by ID with email, name, default payment method, address, balance, and metadata. The standard read after a trigger fires with a customer ID.
What inputs does Get Customer require?
Required: Customer ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
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 Stripe 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 Get Customer support batch operations?
Yes. Run Get Customer inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Stripe's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
