Read a customer
Read a customer by WeTransform ID (UUID), external ID or email. A UUID-shaped value is tried as a WeTransform ID first, then as an external ID; an email-shaped value as an email first, then as an external ID. Active customers take precedence over deleted ones with the same identifier. A deleted customer stays readable until it is purged, one month after its deletion.

payload.templates
array
Templates this customer can use.

string
nullable
Free text stored under that key (max 4096 characters), e.g. a category or your own reference. The template and customer listings can filter on it.
"human_resources"
product
object
nullable
A product needed.
Not null if user requires to buy a specific product (permission or limitation) in order to access a feature.
product.requirement
string
nullable
Whether the user requested a features s/he doesn't have access to,
or the user needs greater limits.
Possible values: permission, limitation
"permission"
product.permission
object
nullable
The required permission.
You will need to know which permission is needed in order to fill up search filters in the shop.
product.permission.description
string
nullable
A human-understandable name for the permission.
product.permission.name
string
A technical permission name (ex: ORGANISATION_UPDATE_SETTINGS).
Possible values depend on the context, check the domain's metadata endpoint.
"X_SOURCE_FORMAT_XML"
product.limitation_type
string
nullable
The limitation that needs to be increased (ex: number of columns).
product.limitation_needed_value
integer
nullable
The needed resource quantity (if receiver uses 9 columns in a template, this value is 9).
product.limitation_current_value
integer
nullable
The current value of the limitation (if receiver is allowed to use 10 columns, this value is 10).
product.limitation_object
object
nullable
The limitation type in a readable format, for example, "lines per file".
product.ai_feature
string
nullable
The AI feature that could not run, when an AI feature is what hit the limitation
(null for any other product).
Possible values: rule_transformation, rule_template, rule_function, rule_constraint, column_constraints, normalizer, chat_db, doc_assistant, api_doc_assistant, autocorrect, autocorrect_fill, invoice_reader, column_match, value_match, power_populate_with_ai, power_extract_from_pdf, power_extract_from_spreadsheet, agent, column_enrichment, column_constraints_batch, agent_compression, agent_workflow_scaffold, agent_phase_fill, push_json_column_match, value_match_embedding, normalizer_debugger, power_extract_from_text, template_format_custom, power_describe_image, power_background_erase, hosted_image_view, value_match_context
product.message
object
nullable
What stopped, on what, and what it would take — translated and ready to display,
with one wording per AI feature: "Matching the values of column «Couleur» with AI
needs 12 AI credits, and 10 are left."
Null whenever ai_feature is, and on the rare AI exposure that has no subject to
name (the template collection's json_column_match_product covers no single
template). Fall back to the generic call-to-action then.
product.is_cta
boolean
nullable
Whether a Call To Action should be displayed.
It may not be displayed if:
- the limitation is on the membership role
- the limitation is on the customer role
- the user is a sender
debug
array
Debug information.
Contains logs about business logic explaining state of the response payload.
Provided in development & admin modes only.
