Get customer is a WordPress ability from LatePoint — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Get customer
Read-onlyRetrieves a single customer's full profile by ID.
Requires the LatePoint plugin on WordPress 6.9+ (the WordPress Abilities API is only available from 6.9 onward). All abilities also require the site's 'latepoint_abilities_api' master toggle to be enabled; write abilities additionally require the 'latepoint_abilities_api_edit' setting, and destructive abilities additionally require the 'latepoint_abilities_api_delete' setting. Each ability further requires the current user to hold the matching LatePoint capability (e.g. 'booking__view', 'customer__edit'), and some abilities also verify the user is allowed to act on that specific record.
What it does
This ability fetches one customer record by its ID and, after confirming it exists and that the current user is allowed to view it, returns the full serialized customer profile — name, email, phone, notes, linked WordPress user ID, status, and timestamps. Returns a not_found error if no customer with that ID exists.
