Get a customer

fieldtask_get_customer

Read-only

Permission

customers:read

REST equivalent

GET /public/v1/customers/{resource_id}

Safe retries

Reads only; safe to repeat

fieldtask_get_customer lets an AI client read one customer by its ID. The client gets the ID from fieldtask_list_customers, from a job's customer_id or from a create result; you never need to supply it.

Archived customers are returned, with is_archived: true. A customer deleted in FieldTask returns resource_not_found.

Same checks and results as REST GET /public/v1/customers/{resource_id}.

Permissions
