Data access and planned exit carry the most weight. Known commercial barriers cap access; an unpublished price applies a bounded discount. Post-cancellation retrieval is a separate disclosure. Open each dimension to inspect its inputs and sources.

CUSTOMER CHOICE

Third-party accessibility

App API keys have selected scopes; Track credentials use a Site ID and secret with Basic authentication. The appropriate US or EU endpoint matters because cross-region redirects may traverse US servers.

Third-party eligibility-Source & scope ↗
Access cost barrier-Source & scope ↗
Downstream permission-Source & scope ↗

Confirm who can connect, who owns the credentials and which uses are permitted. Customer consent and provider approval can be separate requirements; the selected plan and contract still matter.

READ / INTEGRATE

API and export routes

POST /exports/customers filters people by segments and attributes, then returns metadata used to download the export. This route does not establish all activity history or complete automation reconstruction.

Availability depends on your product, plan and agreement. See the documentation below for the requirements of each route.

ECONOMIC ACCESS

Cost, authentication and limits

Most App API endpoints permit ten requests per second; export errors include Retry-After. Track has separate ingestion guidance rather than the same fixed budget. Lowest-plan export entitlement remains unresolved.

Check API entitlement, credential ownership and rate limits for the route you intend to use. Include review fees, customer-plan upgrades and ongoing access charges in the total.

ACT FROM OUTSIDE

External action

Track v1 PUT /customers/{identifier} creates or updates a customer profile. Customer identity settings and identifier rules must be checked before mutating records.

Validate the supported operation, acting identity and permission scope (read access does not imply write permission). Ambiguous retries and revoked credentials also affect whether an external workflow can run safely.

KEEP ACCESS USEFUL

Continuity

Reporting Webhooks use a four-second acknowledgement timeout and retry with backoff for seven days, blocking subsequent delivery behind failures. Workflow-action webhook retries follow a different contract.

Customer.io Reporting Webhooks delivery contract ↗Timeouts and failuresChecked 2026-10-16

Useful ongoing access includes corrections and deletions, not only the first export. A failed request, changed filter or lost resource permission should not be interpreted as a deleted record.

LEAVE WITH YOUR DATA

Data exit and portability

Customers can download the selected people export for external use. Full event history, message content, attachments and independently runnable native workflows remain unverified.

Test the output against the destination’s required fields and history. Check stable identifiers, relationships, attachments and extraction time; a sample file proves only the coverage of that sample.

BUILD / INSPECT / REUSE

Business logic and customization

External integrations can process exports and react to reporting events. A seven-day retry backlog is not a consumer-controlled event journal (native artifact rights and cancellation retrieval remain unresolved).

Custom API access, ownership of workflows and the right to export their definitions are separate questions. A custom-app capability alone does not establish that business rules can move to another system.
