FAQ

Questions about Create Customer.

What does the Create Customer action do in WooCommerce?

Creates a new customer record in WooCommerce with email, name, billing/shipping addresses, and optional metadata. Used when a customer is provisioned upstream (e.g. by your CRM) and needs to exist in Woo.

What inputs does Create Customer require?

Required: Email. 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 WooCommerce 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 Create Customer support batch operations?

Yes. Run Create Customer inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles WooCommerce's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
